In the ancient past (what, 6 weeks ago ;) the JDK was compiled against LessTif, which caused most AWT programs to behave erratically. This was fixed in a prior release, and the current release also follows this practice. This is mentioned in the README.FreeBSD distributed with the JDK, and also would be apparent if you downloaded it and tried it out on your applet. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe java" in the body of the message
