Cut/Paste Bug

[Roedy Green]

With the Opera browser 7.51, in an Applet, you can't copy/paste to a
JTextField.

I thought this was a Swing restriction, but I just tested and
discovered that IE, Firefox and Mozilla all work.

Test this with http://mindprod.com/password.html

Try copy/pasting the result.

The field in question is a JTextField with setEditable( false );

Tried it, couldn't get ctrl+c to work in neither Opera 7.51 (using
1.4.1_01) nor IE 6.01 (1.4.1_06). I see you state need for 1.4.2_05 -
is there a fix the ctrl+c relies on?

I was getting inconsistent results. I think the problem may have to
do with Clipmate getting disconnected.


IE 6.0.2800 works.

Opera 7.52, hot off the press, does not work.

Mozilla 1.8a2 works.

Firefox 0.9.1 works, but only when run from web, not locally.

I suspect it is more complicated than that..

Java 1.5/Win XP
IE 6.00.2600 Ctrl^a YES Ctrl^c NO
Moz. 1.3 Ctrl^a YES Ctrl^c NO

Could not copy from either..

A Swing JTextField will perform copy/paste by default using CTRL-C and
CTRL-V.
I suspect the behaviour you are witnessing is confined to a specific VM
implementation.

I make that request simply because I am only prepared to test with
recent browsers. The only fix is to ask someone to upgrade to the
latest anyway.

I am beginning to regret coding to keep MS IE happy with its 1.1.5
browser. It was actually a disservice to people to encourage them to
continue with that. I should just flatly have said, "not supported,
get a real Java."

 

[Roedy Green]

IE 6.00.2600 Ctrl^a YES Ctrl^c NO
Moz. 1.3 Ctrl^a YES Ctrl^c NO

This suggests IE fixed this recently in 6.0.2800 as did Moz some time
after 1.3.

 

[Andrew Thompson]

MS IE happy with its 1.1.5

1.1.4 - That is the version reported by the
3810 (last that I know of) build of the MSVM.

1.1.5 first appeared in NN 4.something
'Symantec' was mentioned in the NN console
when I checked..
