Description of problem: I can run all of my java apps perfectly with the java.com JRE which are pretty complex, but the Firefox plugin is also quite buggy. When I run the Cisco ASA device manager software, parts of the GUI are malformed, some functions don't work quite as expected, and operation is much smoother. Same goes for web apps, java.com jre seems more well rounded because everything at least works. But thank you team OpenJDK for working on the package!
Could you provide more information on the GUI malformations you are seeing. What package provides the Cisco ASA device manager?
Cisco ASA device manager is the GUI software of a Cisco Network device. It's proprietary java software, not a FOSS package. As for the malformed areas: *When typing the password, the cursor is about 5 pixels off to the right of the trailing asterisk, unlike the java.com which is right up against the last asterisk. A lot of the buttons are cut off like "Configurati..." Those are pretty minor, but I cannot interact with the Firewall page tab. Everything, Access Rules, NAT, Service Policy Rules etc, freeze up. When I move the mouse around, the dynamic buttons pop-up. but it's unusable until I select another tab like "Device Management" The Mozilla Plugin crashes the instant a java applet is loaded.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
