Plug-in and IE both lock/freeze after a modal dialog is launched from JavaScript

        The problem is that the browser and plug-in become locked-up after a modal
        dialog is shown when invoked via JavaScript. I have been able to reproduce
        this problem with Java Plug-in 1.3.0_0(1-5), 1.3.1, and 1.4.0. As the most
        simple scenario, imagine an HTML document with an Applet and a form with a
        button that has a JavaScript method that is called when the button is pressed.
        The onPressed event calls a JavaScript method that gets the Applet and then
        makes a call into a method that brings up a modal dialog. This modal dialog
        can be a Swing Dialog such as JOptionPane or a custom dialog. It does not
        matter.

        http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4192193.html (Bug ID
        4192193). The problem itself has not been fixed and all suggestion workarounds
        that I have seen do not provide a correct solutions.

          TESTCASEBEGIN
        Follow these steps to reproduce this bug:

        1. Create an HTML document as follows:

        <!-- saved from url=(0022)http://internet.e-mail -->
        <HTML>

        <HEAD>
        <TITLE>Freezer</TITLE>
        </HEAD>

        <SCRIPT>
        function showJOptionDialog()
        {
          var applet = document.applets["FreezerApplet"];
          applet.showJOptionDialog();
        }

        function showCustomDialog()
        {
          var applet = document.applets["FreezerApplet"];
          applet.showCustomDialog();
        }
        </SCRIPT>

        <BODY>
        <CENTER>
        <form>
        <table border="0" width="100%">
          <tr>
            <td>
              <!--"CONVERTED_APPLET"-->
        <!-- CONVERTER VERSION 1.3 -->
        <OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
        WIDTH = 320 HEIGHT = 200 id = "FreezerApplet"
        codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-
        win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0">
        <PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE
        = "DialogFreezingProblemWhenInvokedFromJavaScriptTestApplet" >
        <PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE = "DialogFreezer.jar" >
        <PARAM NAME = MAYSCRIPT VALUE = true >
        <PARAM NAME = SCRIPTABLE VALUE = true >
        <PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
        <PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="false">
        <COMMENT>
        <EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3"
        CODE = "DialogFreezingProblemWhenInvokedFromJavaScriptTestApplet"
        ARCHIVE = "DialogFreezer.jar"
        WIDTH = 320 HEIGHT = 200
        MAYSCRIPT = true
        scriptable=true
        pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/plugin-install.html">
        <NOEMBED>
        </COMMENT>

        </NOEMBED></EMBED>
        </OBJECT>
        <!--"END_CONVERTED_APPLET"-->

            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
        <input type="button" value="Bring up Swing Dialog" name="B1"
        onClick="showJOptionDialog()">
        <input type="button" value="Bring up Custom Dialog" name="B2"
        onClick="showCustomDialog()">
        </select>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        </form>

        </CENTER>

        </BODY>

        </HTML>

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        2. Create DialogFreezingProblemWhenInvokedFromJavaScriptTestApplet.java as
        follows:


        import javax.swing.*;
        import java.awt.*;

        public class DialogFreezingProblemWhenInvokedFromJavaScriptTestApplet extends
        JApplet {

          public void start() {
            super.start();
          }

          public void stop() {
            super.stop();
          }

          public void init() {
            super.init();
          }

          public void showJOptionDialog() {
            System.out.println("showJOptionDialog() enter");

            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Message", "Title",
        JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

            System.out.println("showJOptionDialog() exit");
          }

          public void showCustomDialog() {
            System.out.println("showCustomDialog() enter");

            Frame f = (Frame)SwingUtilities.getRoot(this);
            JDialog d = new CustomJDialog(f, "Custom Dialog", true);
            d.show();

            System.out.println("showCustomDialog() exit");
          }
        }

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        3. Create CustomJDialog.java as follows:


        import javax.swing.*;
        import java.awt.*;
        import java.awt.event.*;


        public class CustomJDialog extends JDialog {

            static Window getWindowForComponent(Component parentComponent) {
                if (parentComponent == null)
                    return JOptionPane.getRootFrame();
                if (parentComponent instanceof Frame || parentComponent instanceof
        Dialog)
                    return (Window)parentComponent;
                return getWindowForComponent(parentComponent.getParent());
            }

          public CustomJDialog (Frame parent, String title, boolean modal) {
            super(parent, title, modal);
            init();
            System.out.println("parent frame = " + parent);
          }

          public void init() {
            getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());

            JButton b = new JButton("OK");
            b.setAction(new AbstractAction() {
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                CustomJDialog.this.dispose();
              }
            });
            getContentPane().add(b, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            setSize(320,200);
            setLocation(200,200);
          }
        }

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        4. Compile the two source files.
        5. Create a jar 'DialogFreezer.jar' with the class files from step 4.
        6. Put the HTML and jar where your browser can hit them.
        7. Hit them.
        8. Click either button on the form.
