#42 Keyboard & mouse lost exiting Jext

[Anonymous]

Environment:
Windows 2000 SP3
Jext 3.2.pre2
JRE 1.4.1_01
Logitech Trackman II Marble PS/2 mouse

Mouse and keyboard focus not returned to desktop after
Jext is closed. Mouse clicks and key depressions fill input
buffers causing total lock up. Requires reboot to restore.

Found causes of problem:

1. If JEXT.BAT or JEXT.EXE is launched directly from
Windows Explorer the problem will occur.

2. Cannot use Desktop shortcut from previous release of
Jext. (Previous release included a installer for Windows
which created the shortcut. I had downloaded the Jext
update. For installation I deleted the contents of the Jext
folder, expanded and dropped Jext3.2.pre2 files into the old
folder.) User needs to create a .pif file with "close on
exit" checked in the Program tab to fix this problem. They
can then create a shortcut to the .pif file and place the
shortcut on the Desktop. (Users also need to modify JEXT.BAT
to point to the correct Jext drive and folder.)

Item 2 of previous Followup is not the cause. Item 2 hangs
just like Item 1 after opening and closing several files in
Jext and then exiting.

I think it is a Java, not jext's one(it should happen with
every java graphical app). See this URL for a description of
the bug:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4713003.html
The workarounds they describe are adding to the flags line
in jextlauncher.ini(for starting with jext.exe; using
jext.bat means adding it at the end of the java.... line of
the script)
this option:
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
or (as second try)
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
(don't forget a space before)
Try and tell us. If this is true, you should report
