Two Issues with JRE 7 Applets

[Joshua Smith]

(I posted this over on the Apple list, but haven't gotten any response yet.)

1. When I type [option]-2, I'm seeing then number 2, not the ™ symbol. If I use the "Show Character Viewer" doohickey, I don't get anything at all. Using the option key to make accented characters does work, just not stuff like © and ™.

2. I cannot copy/paste from AWT dialogs.

These are both regressions from Apple's JRE 6.

Are there workarounds to either of these?

Is there a bug database someplace that I can search to see if these are know issues? (There was a lot of back-and-forth recently about bug databases, and I'm left not knowing which way is up on that front.)
