We still haven't fixed it, but I believe we understand the issue now.

Nice! I didn't know those worked already.

It would be nice if some kaffe hacker could explain the relation between these versions.

That does make sense. In the GNU Classpath gtk-peer awt implementation a lot of work has been done to support "lightweight" components (like Free Swing). This is less developed in the old style kaffe xlib-awt framework. But in a couple of places we seem to forgot to check that old-style "heavyweight" (aka plain awt components) still got the events if the lightweights didn't handle them. > Trying to report the presumatley ppc related bug I have now learned: > d) There seems to be generic event bugs in classpath for kaffe. Yes, as far as I can see they are not platform specific. The mouse events issue seems to be solved now in a generic way.

Or we can try to get kaffe to make a new release! :) Including at least the patch from PR26641. > ii) Retest my two testcases for Mandriva. Thanks for all the testing. It (and the testcases) are really helpful. Mark
