Tested with ladybird-b14 on Solaris 7(psarc/x86)/Netscape4.7 and 4.5.

"show Java Console" option of Basic tag in Plug-in Control Panel does not work properly.
Disabling "show Java Console" option, iconed Java Console appears on display.
If "show Java Console" option is disabled, Java Console should not appear anywhere.

This problem is not seen with jdk1.3(Kestrel).

2) Set the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to the directory containing the javaplugin.so file.
3) Execute Control Panel.

5) Launch Netscape browser and go to the url below;
