25 Jan 2000 eval1127@eng -- same behavior (under Solaris) with everything from JDK 1.1.6 to kestrel RC1-T (1.3.0rc1-T). Trying win32...works fine there,
under 1.1.7 and onward.

This is related to bug #'s 4124697, 4080608, both of which are closed. Need to open another bug to make sure this gets reviewed (again).

----------------------
$ java -version
java version "1.1.6"

The test case is given below on excuting this program .
setEchoChar behaves abnormally and text can't be entered .

When first if you start entering in the text area , it works fine .
but if You click on the checkbox and then back again to Text area
this problem is seen. It can be observed that when a check box is clicked
both TextListener as well as ItemListener are invoked , this is not
observed in windows platform where it works fine.

This was seen on
Sun SOlaris machine ,
