FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Present on Mustang beta 2 -
jre-6-beta2-bin-b83-windows-i586-04_may_2006
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Service Pack 2
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We have an applet embedded in, but not fully occupying, an HTML page.
We have a mouse event handler on an item in the page that calls a method on the applet to activate a pop-up menu outside the bounds of the applet, over some of the text in the page. The first time this handler operates on a mouse click, the menu appears briefly and then disappears.
In our simple example, subsequent clicks operate correctly. In our actual application, the menus always disappear. We have been unable to isolate that behaviour, but hope this may provide enough of a clue.
The problem is present in all 1.5 versions. We have tested it against Mustang beta 2 because it is similar to 6345002 which is apparently fixed there.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See description - test case supplied.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Popup menu should appear, and accept interaction.
ACTUAL -
First time, the popup menu appears and then disappears.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
After the menu has appeared and disappeared, it is possible to retrieve it by means of the Windows Menu key.
