Bob,
One context was that I was using arrow keys to nudge (translate) a clicked
model. After the click of the model, I would have problems similar to what you
describe with a script field on the page until I clicked in a non-applet part
of the page. The following pickCallback simulated clicking in a non-applet part
of the page:
if (nudgeTyp != "") { document.getElementById("script").blur();
document.getElementById("script").focus();
document.getElementById("script").blur(); }
Like I said. I thought is was a general applet issue.
