How do you find out if a bug has been fixed?

[David DeHaven]

I don't think it's fixed, I still see it with b90. In a lot of cases I don't even see the buttons to be able to click them.

I was impressed with the level of interest shown in this bug by people at Oracle so I’ve been checking the JRE 8 early release builds and pleased to see that it seems to have gotten fixed so quickly.  Is that the only way one finds out a bug is fixed?  The Sun bug page still lists it as unresolved.

Presumably he has a slower computer and ran into the timing problem worse than others.  When the fix comes out in JRE 7, does he switch back to JRE 7 by removing all Java versions and installing the latest version of 7?
