Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a java applet with a text input box. Click inside the text input. 2. Try changing what's in your text input box. Everything is happy, right? 3. Open a new tab. It doesn't have to have anything loaded in it. Click in the URL box. Type a URI. Actual Results: The website intended to show up in the location box instead showed up in the text box of the page with a text box that I had switched out of. Expected Results: The text should have stayed within the location bar.

I can confirm this behaviour. It affects Netscape 7.1 for Mac OS X, as well as the latest Mozilla and Firefox builds for Mac OS X.

Additionally, elements of the Java applet then suddenly appear, where they shouldn't. For demonstration, I made two screenshots, one from a page with a Java applet, the other one from Bugzilla with overlayed elements from the applet in the other tab. I sometimes have focus problems with mozilla on Mac OS X, so maybe this is not only a Java problem and this bug might be related to bug 237038.

You don't have to have a text entry box in the applet for this to happen. For instance, in Smartmoney.com having their applet to display a portfolio will prevent you from entering a stock symbol.

This is marked resolved? it stills happens for me under the RC2 build. Easily reproducable. Just create an applet with a JTextField. click on the JTextField to gain focus then you cant type anywhere else in the browser. Eventually FF will crash.
