See  bugs:27557 for a full description, but basically text is truncated halfway through the second line in the Reg Applet.

I don't think this is related to #650. However, it's possible that we're losing because the window is getting painted with textsize calculated for a single line of text (the initial value in TextBlock?). And it works in appletviewer, so this will be hard to debug.

It's possible that the actual subject of this ticket should be "Someone should make the Reg Applet not use ca.-1996 Java code."

On my lucid VM, with openjdk-6-jdk 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1 and icedtea6-plugin 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1, the Athena registration applet (  http://web.mit.edu/register) is not displayed consistently. It failed to display the first time loaded in my tries, then usually (but not always) was displayed when I reloaded the page. Running firefox in a terminal, I see:

The NPE seems to correlate with the applet not appearing.

I saw no problem in a brief test of the Sun JDK.

debathena-athena-libraries was created to try and create compatibility with the libraries installed on an Athena 9 workstation for the purposes of locker compatibility.

Now that we've managed to take over the world, it's not clear doing that still makes sense.

We should figure out what athena-libraries should do these days
