Using 6u18 on Windows XP with IE7 with Java Console open, showDocument() is causing the html page to be displayed behind the applet.

Test case is attached to this report.

Steps to reproduce are:

1. In Java Control Panel, enable Advanced->Java console->Show console
2. Put the applet and ShowDocument.class file in the htdocs directory of an Apache install.
3. Edit test.html to point to your Apache server where the files are posted
4. Open IE7 and access the test.html file
5. Click the test link
6. Applet opens
7. Type in http://www.google.com and hit return

You will see that the browser window opens behind the applet window. Expected behavior is the new browser window opens on top. If Java console is not open, the browser window appears in front as expected.

Application developer says problem should also reproduce with IE6 and IE8, but the support team hasn't been able to confirm those results.

Also attached is a video which shows the behavior as seen by the application developer using IE6.
