jre-6u24 and copy + paste in a java applet

Hi, I'm having trouble with jre and the applet at http://www.finnzymes.com/tm_determination.html .  I can copy + paste to and from it using jre-6u23 (any subversion), but not with the jre-6u24 versions.  Could someone confirm that this is the case and/or help me figure out what's up?  I use this site all the time and currently have to launch windows xp from a virtualmachine just to use it!

Thanks!

I'm using openjdk and it does not copy or paste also.

Bump.  This is still an issue for me with jre-6u25.  I can't tell whether this is an arch-specific issue.

I was having this problem also.  It seems that since 6u24, copy and paste has been disabled in untrusted applets.  To enable it again, add the following line to /opt/java/jre/lib/security/java.policy

permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessClipboard";

I put it at the end of the file before the last closing bracket.  I can cut and paste now
