Since the update of Java 8u40 our OSX users have not been able to type anything into the application and the application also does not even gain focus. I have tried other Web Start examples and I have the same issue, so it isn’t just us.
I went to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/webstart/examplesIndex.html and launched both Web Start demo’s on that page. I can double-click in the fields and it appears it wants to rename or edit text but the caret doesn’t show up and typing doesn’t work. Also, Finder (or whatever app I had touched last) is still on the Mac title/tool bar. Is anyone else seeing this?
