A bug in appletviewer

[John Summerfield]

Extrace the attached java applet into a new directory, say ~/javabug. Call
the file "bug.java."

Compile it as you'd compile any java applet, maybe
javac bug.java

Run the applet thus:
appletviewer bug.java

Click your various mouse buttons on the frame window and take not of its
behaviour.
 Change directory and run it again: maybe
cd ..
appletviewer javabug/bug.java

Note that this time there's a warning message in the top of the window
warning the user that this is an applet window. You will also note that
some of the text the applet attempts to display is obscured by this
message.

This behaviour is different from that I observe with 
   Appletviewer on NT 4.0 Sp1 JDK 1.1.4
   Netscape 4.something on NT
   Netscape 4.06 on Linux
   Appletviewer on OS/2 JDK 1.1.4
   Netscape 2.02 with Java 1.1.4 on OS/2
and in pictures in my book Just Java, Sun Microsystems.

In all these cases, the warning message is at the bottom of the window: in
principle the user can, if something seems obscured, resize the window to see
what's hidden.

I have
[summer@possum public_html]$ java -version
java version "1.1.6"


I don't seem to have the downloaded file to tell me more precisely.
However, the timestamp on java is "Aug 29 19:07."
