Two Issues with JRE 7 Applets

[Joshua Smith]

I couldn't find either of these reported there.

I found a trivial applet on the web that can be used to reproduce the problem:

http://www.willamette.edu/~gorr/classes/cs231/lectures/chapter5/

Just scroll down to the applet and try using Option-2 in it. You'll get a 2 instead of a ™. Then try to copy/paste in it -- doesn't work.

Both of these work correctly in Apple's JDK 6.

Can someone at Oracle put these into the real bug tracking system?
