If there are multiple applets with text input on the same webpage, one of the text input field steals the focus and it is not possible to enter text into textfield of another applet. This is happening on Netscape/Solaris with plugin enabled, but working correctly on Windows. Tested with JDK 1.4.2 FCS and 1.4.2_01 EA

to reproduce:

modify

/java/re/jdk/1.4.2/latest/binaries/solaris-sparc/demo/applets/ArcTest/example1.html

to have two instances of the same applet as follows

     <applet code=ArcTest.class width=400 height=400>
     </applet>
     <hr>
     <applet code=ArcTest.class width=400 height=400>
     <applet>

or load the already modified applet at /home/sko/tmp/ArcTest/example1.html

Load the modified html page into Netscape on Solaris to test with
Java Plugin. Try to type into the text fields in both the
applets and observe that one of the applets can not receive
input focus correctly and it is impossible to type text into
textfileds of that applet.
