(Get the code!)
Actually, I completely disagree with you, Florian.
This is indeed a bug. Yes, the change in the applet code DOES fix the problem, but that is not the issue in question.
The bug that I reported is that a Java applet, which is claimed to be completely cross platform (write once, run everywhere, and so on), works in Windows but not in Linux. If the program was not supposed to work in Linux because of some problem with either Firefox or Sun java Browser plug in, or IcedTea Browser plug-in, than we need to stop claiming that the culprit in question is cross-platform. That, or we need to disclose that this special case exists, preventing this particular applet, as written, from running in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.
I completely understand and agree with you that the problem is fixable. As we speak I believe that my professor has already repaired the applet. My issue is that the applet worked on Windows, and not on Linux. Any way you look at it, there is some problem with that, though not entirely necessarily the same problem from every angle.
