Hi
I have encountered the jtreg failure of the selection autoscroll test
(openjdk/jdk/test/java/awt/TextArea/UsingWithMouse/SelectionAutoscrollTest). I
found out the problem occurs because in the test, the mouse is not pressed for
long enough outside the text box to allow the highlight to reach the bottom
(even though the behaviour is still correct). Hence, all that was needed was to
add a delay on the mouse press event after it had moved outside of the text
box. The only concern I have is whether the duration for the delay I set is
reasonable (I have it at 2s) or would a more generalized approach be more
suitable (i.e. find a way to check if the highlighting is still moving on to
the next character). Let me know what you think and thanks.
By the way, my system is Fedora 10 32 bits running on gnome 2.24.3, icedtea6
build with openjdk6.
