Chris, thanks for response.
I didn't find https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-707 because not only TextArea is affected and linux is not mentioned in the headline. Non-Pivot-applets seems not to be affected. If I'll have the time I will build two simple applets, one pivot and one none pivot with key listeners to see what happens in either case, and attach them to PIVOT-707 to make further investigations easier. I used a pivot applet without deployJava.js as a first analysis because also javascript on different technolgies might have been the problem, but there is no difference. By the way: is there any reason for deployJava.js than easier maintenance? E. g. http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/forms.html runs also with <applet code=org.apache.pivot.wtk.BrowserApplicationContext$HostApplet archive="lib/pivot-core-2.0.jar, lib/pivot-wtk-2.0.jar, lib/pivot-wtk-terra-2.0.jar, lib/pivot-tutorials-2.0.jar, lib/svgSalamander-tiny.jar" width=512 height=384> <param name="java_arguments" value="-Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.awt.erasebackgroundonresize=true" /> <param name="application_class_name" value="org.apache.pivot.wtk.ScriptApplication" /> <param name="startup_properties" value=src=/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/layout/forms.bxml /> </applet> Because OpenJDK itself has problems with some other applications I use and IceTea-Plugin is also reported to have problems with also non-pivot applets I won't look at this stack. > Volker, > > This sounds like something that has come up before. > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-707 > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-782 > > While some of the Pivot development team have Ubuntu installations to > test with, I don't think any use it as a main development platform. > As you can see from the above JIRA tickets, there wasn't much input > from the community after the problem was reported, so we are not any > closer to a solution. > > We would welcome your assistance if you are able to perform a few more > tests to help us figure out where the problem comes from.
