Hello, is anybody running pivot-applications succesfuly with firefox on ubuntu linux?
I used pivot a lot for development of desktop applications and there is no problem with ubuntu. With firefox the applet loads and is usable at the beginning, but if you use tab- or enter-key, text fields will never receive any input, even if you click at them and the cursor is blinking inside. Currently I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx (32bit; firefox 3.6.24) with JRE from Oracle JDK 1.6.0_30. With JRE from Oracle JDK 1.7.0_02 no input to text fields is possible from the very beginning. I tried with the tutorial applets from pivot.apache.org and with some of my applications based on pivot 2.0.1-tag. I did the same with a live cd of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal (32bit; firefox 7.0.1) with the same behavior. On this version I also tested the IceTea-Plugin which only brings a grey area. It's hard to find java applet demos in the internet, but with the few I found there seems to be no problem with ubuntu-linux, the mentioned firefox-versions and JDKs, so there seems to be something in pivot which causes this behaviour.
