So whenever one tries to type text into the input area, either nothing happens or the text is entered into the java applet. Also, the blinking cursor appears in both the text input form and the applet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a webpage that has a java applet and text input forms. 2. Click on Java Applet then Click back to text input form. 3. Try to input text into text input form. Actual Results: No text was entered, or text appears in the java applet Expected Results: Text should have appeared in text input form. This bug occurs in both Mozilla and Firebird on the Macintosh, but does not occur in the Windows versions.

Sounds like a bug in the Apple Java Plugin implementation to me....

I'm seeing this as well. This bug is specific to Mozilla-based browsers, including Netscape 7.1, and does not occur in other browsers that use Apple's Java plug-in.

I believe this is a dupe of 211630.
