Showstopper-bugs, bug-database not searchable

Hello, Stephan.

Here is one of the issues you've described:
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8009911

It might also be related to the following issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388886

I am not aware about the rest. However they might be related with the following issue:
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8011686
This issue will be fixed very soon. But you can verify if it is the cause of any of our problem right now by creating the test case which does not use any AWT/Swing classes, so that AWT doesn't load.

With best regards. Petr.

Scrollbars stay visible in my app if the system setting is put on "Always". Very unfortunate, but at least there is a work-around.

Trying to see where it hangs in the debugger (I am using Eclipse), it appears the main thread is actually running, not blocking, in the main event loop. But the window is locked up and blocks other windows from coming to the front. Full-screen mode is not entered. The application can be force-killed. A work-around would be to disable the full-screen icon in all windows. But again, this works just fine when running inside the Apple Java SE 6 JVM.

Since the respective snippets are small and reproduce these bugs, I should be ruling out anything weird going on specifically in my larger app, right?
