Hi again...

I am almost totally fed up with the state of applets in browsers these days
:[

IcedTea/Firefox with APPLET tag: works generally, but: key events do not
work at all. (They work in appletviewer.) See here:
http://tinybrain.de:8080/tb/gui-applet.php?id=172 (Try clicking on the text
and then pressing left key or right key.)

Also, still there is the 100% CPU problem. I tried kill -3 with that, but
it only stops the plug-in (instead of printing a stack trace)...

IcedTea/Firefox with OBJECT/EMBED tag: Just hangs. Gray area. Check here:
http://tinybrain.de:8080/tb/gui-applet.php?id=172&useObject=1.

Weirdly, I've seen the OBJECT/EMBED version work, for example here:
http://htmltea.sourceforge.net/editortest.html

This is all really confusing... :[

Cheers,
Stefan
