The bug fix for my bug report
(37 votes in JDC Bug Parade)
concerning cursor setting is
not working properly.

There are two symptoms:

1. Moving the cursor/mouse over JComponents and
   entering one does not reliably switch to its
   cursor, especially when moving over small
   JComponents.
   Test case: Run the SwingSet demo from Swing 1.1
   with JDK 1.1.8ea and switch to the InternalFrame
   or SplitPane tab. Move the mouse over an
   InternalFrame's border or over the SplitPaneDivider.
   Entering changes the cursor to a resizing cursor;
   leaving and entering the next component should
   switch to the next component's cursor, but does
   not reliably.
   This is a bug (regression?), which did not exist
   in JDK 1.1.7!!!

2. Showing an active glass pane and
   performing a mouse event retargeting
   during a mouse dragged event handling
   on a JComponent does NOT change the
   cursor to the glass pane's cursor,
   and also cursor changes must be called
   on the original dragging JComponent
   instead of the glass pane.

(Changing the cursor in KeyEvent handling
seems to work fine.)

This is a major regression that will cause JavaHelp V1.0 context-sensitive functionality to be unusable in JDK1.2.2. This is a regression and needs to be fixed before JDK1.2.2 ships.


I've changed the priority only to force someone to take a look at this issue. Also this adversly affects swing. See bug 4229712 for more details.

To demonstrate the problem run the idedemo and click on the ? button. It will never change back on JDK1.2.2
