Hopper Build : 17
OS tested on platforms :Sparc10(64) and Sparc10(32)
OS build : 5.10 s10_13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

I had tested with 5.10 s10_12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 also , and the bug is reproducible.

Java -version:

java version "1.4.1-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-rc-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-rc-b17, mixed mode)


Test case to reproduce the bug:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

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

           public class Test extends JFrame {

               public Test() {
                   JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
                   ta.append("This is the text to drag.");
                   ta.append("\nThis is some other text.");
                   ta.setDragEnabled(true);
                   getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(ta));
               }

               public static void main(String[] args) {
                   Test t = new Test();
                   t.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                   t.setSize(400, 400);
                   t.setVisible(true);
               }
           }
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Steps to reproduce:

1. Compile and run the above program.
2. Highlight all of the first line.
3. Begin a drag operation by dragging the text from the first line.
4. Now drop somewhere the text dissapears.
