Bug 14426 – REGRESSION: Java buttons do not work/submitting a form

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Java

[Marcus Hoff]

After entering user/pass in the applet neither the enter/return keys nor the buttons do anything.

Confirmed as a regression with r23841.

Marcus, which version of Mac OS X are you using?  Also, which version of Safari (2.0.4 or 3.0) are you using, and are you using a WebKit nightly build to duplicate this bug?  Thanks!

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

I'm not Marcus, but I was using 10.4.9 on an Intel Mac, r23841 nightly with Safari 2.0.4, and Java 1.5.0_06. I cannot reproduce this issue today on a G4 with 10.4.9, a local build of r24287/Safari 3.0, and Java 1.5.0_07.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

I can not reproduce this now on the same Intel Mac; the only thing that changed was Java version (now it's also 1.5.0_07).

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Thanks for testing, Alexey!

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Marcus, what version of Java do you have installed?  Does upgrading to 1.5.0_07 fix the issue?

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Going to mark this as fixed per Alexey's Comment #5.  Marcus, if you're still seeing the issue with Java 1.5.0_07 or newer, please reopen this bug (or create a new one).  Thanks!

[Marcus Hoff]

I use:
Safari 2.0.4
OS X: 10.4.10
Java: 1.4.2 (installed, although the plugin page says 1.3.1)
HW: Powerbook G4

It works fine in Safari - and has done so almost since the first versions. When I use the Webkit (24285) it doesn't work.
When I wrote "buttons" it's not real Java buttons, but links that look like buttons, they don't work. Also hitting Return in the password field does not submit the form.

I'll try with a newer Java.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

While it's very important to test whether updating the Java runtime fixes this issue, it doesn't seem appropriate to require updated Java; re-opening.

Do you have more specific Java version information?  There is usually an "_0X" string on the end.  You must use "java -version" (assuming "java" is in your path in the Terminal application) to get the more detailed version.

[Marcus Hoff]

My Java is 1.5.0_07
Why does the plugin-page say 1.3.1? 

[Marcus Hoff]

I can get it to work!
The Java form works properly as long as I have Safari running alongside the WebKit. 
If I Quit Safari it stops working.
Start Safari again and it works.
I don´t have to load any Java in Safari

Weird!  Sounds like running the WebKit nightly does something that makes Java not work correctly.  Any ideas Mark?

[Marcus Hoff]

From r24594 it works. Just checked again with r24668 - still works.
I don't know what you changed - but leave it that way :)
