It occurs on two machines with similar setups: * Windows XP Professional with all windows updates applied * J2RE Standard, 1.4.2_03; Default VM Version 1.4.2_03-b02 * XXE Standard 2.5p1
As for being maximized, that doesn't seem to make a difference. It did prompt me to try one other thing. It seems that the problem only occurs when switching between XXE and my SSH client, PuTTY 0.53b (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). I'm not sure what Putty does that makes XXE respond differently, but that seems to be the link (specifically, I have to have clicked in the terminal area as I would to copy and paste). Of course, I'm writing a book/howto that requires me to regularly copy and paste information from PuTTY into XXE. I haven't had a chance to try another SSH client with it. -- Marcus I.
