Re: FVWM Patch for Interaction problem with Java 7
My problem is a little different. If the application comes up and the mouse is not over the window, then you can type into the field as well as tab around the widgets. But once the mouse enters the window, even without trying to resize or move it, then the ability to focus in a text field goes away and never comes back.

Can you post a recipe for demonstrating the problem? -- Dan Espen See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.fvwm.devel/5219-- that link has an example Java program. It's just that the patches proposed in that thread do not help. We are using Java 1.7.0_17-b02. But our problem goes beyond the resize issue-- the application may not ever allow the text field to get focus. There is a JDK bug that seems to be very similar: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8009224. The OpenJDK discussion for this is at http://openjdk.5641.n7.nabble.com/lt-AWT-Dev-gt-Bug-100300-JDK7-looses-focus-under-e16-window-manager-td120166.html. The implication of the March 13 message in that thread is that the window manager is not following an appropriate Global Active focus model. Whatever that means. John Faucett
