Java applet is screwed under both FireFox and Konqueror the same way

Ok, we have IcedTea6 Java Plugin now, and Scottrader streaming quotes applet is working both under FireFox and Konqueror.

The problem it is sort  of screwed (similar way under FireFox and Konqueror) with respect to what I  see under Windows.

What should I do, file the bug with www.iced-tea.org ?

So when you say screwed....you mean what exactly ?

any errors? just the visual..what?

Are you averse to using Sun JRE if IcedTea is not working out for you?

That jre_beta package is current for x86_64, so it has the web plug-in as well as Web Start:

It won't be too much longer before JRE 6u12 gets to community.

By "screwed" I mean the inteface is seen just partially with respect to what I see under Windows Explorer -- only some buttons are avalilable.

Another thing, but it's an old problem with real Java plugin, which was working under Konqueror long time ago -- the color of pull-down menus is dark-blue (text is not readable on it), while under Windows Exporer it is white.

As to my knowledge, there is no Sun Java plugin for 64-bit Linux.

Under  Plugins section I see The IcedTea Java Web Browser Plugin 1.4.1(ArchLinux-1.4.1-1.c86_64) executes Java applets

This means I am using IcedTea plugin, right?

Are you speaking about Sun Java plugin?

Another observation I just made -- the applet starts under Konqueror in the same "screwed" form I mentioned in the very first post

Re: Java applet is screwed under both FireFox and Konqueror the same way

The 64 bit plug-in for JRE was introduced with JRE 6u12. It works much better than the one from OpenJDK. The package that I linked to above isn't really a beta anymore; it's still is use because the one in community isn't updated yet. I recommend using it until the community package gets updated.

Thanks, Scottish.

I'll wait until it gets into Community.
