We were using TextArea in our applets but wanted to avoid
 some of the problems of mixing lightweight and heavyweight
 components. Switching to JTextArea (JTextField shows the same
 problem) we discovered that the standard window-to-window
 mouse cut-and-paste between the applet and the rest of our
 Motif CDE desktop stopped functioning.

 For TextArea, you can drag MB1 to select text in any Motif
 window (including the TextArea) then click MB2 at the location
 in TextArea where the selected text is to be inserted. This
 does not work for JTextArea.

 For TextArea, hitting the backspace key deletes the character
 before the cursor, for JTextArea it deletes the character
 following the cursor.

 I have the following e-mail response regarding the problem

The Motif LAF Caret implementation should be providing that
behavior, but currently it doesn't. You can however install
your own caret that adds it (The Caret is a MouseListener
implementation that gets attached when the caret is installed,
and detached when the caret is replaced).

1.Exact steps to reproduce the problem.
