Chris Bartlett commented on PIVOT-707:
--------------------------------------
Yes, by non-Pivot applet I mean a Java Applet that doesn't use any Pivot code.
I wanted to see if the same problem happens in Firefox to *all* applets, or if
it seems to only Pivot ones. This will help to determine if it is a Pivot
problem, or a Firefox one (or something else entirely).
I have tried to reproduce the issue with a few non-Pivot applets that I found
from Google searches, but so far they all seem to work OK. Here is an example
of one that allows typing after it regains focus.

I also searched for Firefox applet issues regarding focusing and found a small
number of reports that seem to match the behaviour you described (and that I
reproduced). http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1080699

A couple of postings seemed to suggest that this might be a fairly recent
problem with Firefox, and that it used to work with older versions. If you
able to install older Firefox versions, that would also be a useful test.
It might also be good to ask a question to a Firefox/Linux mailing list or
forum to see if they have any suggestions.
