When operating in MDI mode, the Widgets for the internal windows will disappear after minimizing and restoring. Clicking in another window, then back causes them to re-draw, but then the middle widget loses its functionality. This is with Apple JDK: java version "1.4.1_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-58.1) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-21, mixed mode)
Created attachment 10812 [details] This shows the missing widgets when you restore the window
Created attachment 10813 [details] This is after clicking away, then back on the window. The widgets are redrawn, but the middle one does nothing.

Because Window System v1 will not be supported from now by our team, all old winsys issues (now "core/window system v1" issues) are going to be closed as WONTFIX. Changes in API which emerged both from UI spec and problems with adjusting to the older API are described in the document http://core.netbeans.org/windowsystem/changes.html. It shows also recommends how the client code should be adjusted to the new window system. If you think this issue apply also to the new winsys then change the subcomponent (to "core/window system") and REOPEN it.
issue doesn't apply to new window system - verified
