Two Issues with JRE 7 Applets

[Joshua Smith]

Done.

Oddly, it doesn't tell me the bug number after I submit it, and new bugs do not appear in search results, so I can't tell you what they are.

I also posted both bugs to stackoverflow, hoping that someone thinks of a work-around.

These are both major production problems for my company. (We copy and paste a lot, and our customers ™, ©, and ® everything! :)
