java version "1.3.0"

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

Although bug#4180832 (Reference from input method prevents Garbage Collection
on client component) is marked as "Closed, fixed in 1.2.2", it still has a
leak: the awtFocussedComponent instance variable from
sun.awt.windows.WInputMethod still refers to a deleted component.
The following code from the (platform independent) class
sun.awt.im.InputContext may give some problems in combination with the
platform dependent implementation of InputMethod:

/* lines 377-380 from sun.awt.im.InputContext version 1.38 of 00/02/02 */

awtFocussedComponent = null;
if (inputMethod instanceof InputMethodAdapter) {
    ((InputMethodAdapter) inputMethod).setAWTFocussedComponent(null);
}
/* end */

/* lines 302-306 from sun.awt.windows.WInputMethod version 1.43 of 00/02/02 */

protected void setAWTFocussedComponent(Component component) {
    if (component == null) {
        return;
    }
/* end */

Hope this helps,

Mark Scheffer.
