Affected System:

• Mac OS X 10.6.7
• java version “1.6.0_24”
• Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07-334-10M3326)
• Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02-334, mixed mode)
• Firefox 4.0.1
• Chrome 12.0.742.91
• Safari 5.0.5 (6533.21.1)

Issue:

Initially it seemed like no matter how many times I clicked on either the “Create” or “Login”, nothing would happen. Further investigation revealed the “Secure Login” window was appearing behind the browser. Also, a new window had been spawned for each time I’d clicked on either “Create” or “Login”.

Since the applet has no context as a stand-alone application, there’s no way to command+tab or command+~ to these newly spawned windows. The only way to get to them is manually moving windows around.

A possible solution may be to calling alwaysOnTop(true) on the “Secure Login” window and limiting its creation to a single instance.

Fixed in the next build.

Thanks for letting me know.
