Sort-of, yes. The problem still exists for Lucid.

So far I've not been able to pin-point the cause and the time it was
taking up was too much. For my own situation I have a workaround whereby
I can drag new windows out to a new size immediately they are created
and as long as I don't try to change size again later, the problem is
manageable.

There's a new bug for Lucid whereby when the applet launches a URL via
the Firefox browser, instead of appearing in a new window it replaces
the applet window, thus terminating the applet. I've not had time to
investigate/report that so far.

Draw order causes panels to be obscured on Window resize

When using a Volano chat applet, resizing chat-room windows causes panels to be obscured by the 'background' since it doesn't scale (remains static) and appears in front of the panels.

To reproduce this there is a Volano demo applet at http://www.volano.com/chat.html

Start the chat applet, set "Your Name" and enter any chat 'room'. Resize (enlarge) the resulting Window. The active panels inside the window scale and relocate correctly but the 'background' (some combination of Panel objects possibly) remain in their original positions and obscure the active elements because they are apparently 'in front'.

I wonder if this is a case of an incorrectly inverted draw order of some form, although I doubt it's a common one else other Java applications would exhibit similar issues.

I thought it might be related to bug #282626 "applet window unable to resize" but that is marked 'Fix Released'.

This doesn't affect Sun Java.
