I am adding a tray icon to the notification area from a java app. The same app also shows a frame on the screen. Frame contains a textarea and a button. Once the icon is added to the notification area, I am clicking on the icon. The frame gets de-activated and loses focus. When I click back the textarea or the frame itself, the components do not respond to the keyevents. Basically the frame is not activated. I had to iconify and restore the frame in order to make it activated.

First of all, I am not sure whether it is a correct behavior that the frame gets de-activated when clicking the tray icon. This is noticed on SolarisSparc10-JDS as well as Linux AS3.0 - GNOME.

Here is the PIT build:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-awt.pit-int-awt-blade-dm97671_11_May_2005_10_32-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b35, mixed mode)

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test. You would see a tray icon added to the notification area and a frame. Click on the tray icon. Frame will be de-activated. Click back the textarea on the frame. If textarea does not gain focus, the bug is reproduced.

I tried this with the PIT build dated 17.Jun.2005 and the textarea gains focus properly. So looks like this bug is fixed. But still I am not sure whether it is a right behavior that the frame gets de-activated and loses focus when I click the tray icon.
