I'm afraid I can't now. The original applet where the problem manifested
was recently replaced with a Javascript solution and the Java applet
removed.

So far I have not discovered any other Java applets that exhibit the
behaviour but I rarely use Java applets nowadays anyhow.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK,
which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
On Lucid with OpenJDK-6 using Firefox 3.6, when a Java applet displays an embedded hypertext link which the user clicks on, the link is opened in the parent window of the applet, causing the applet to be replaced by the link and killing the applet.

The expected behaviour, and that which was present in previous releases, is to open the link in a new window (target "_blank").
