Hmmmm...  I understood Frame(A) and Frame(B), but I am not quite sure 
where "the Java window" came from.  It is not at all clear what you are 
referring to.

But what you are talking about sounds like the old "closing a modal 
dialog" bug.  When you close a modal dialog, it is supposed to give the 
focus back to the parent frame.  On Windows, sometimes it does, but most 
of the time it does not.

This is bug #4065506 on the Bug Parade.  Sun has reported that it has 
been "fixed in JDK 1.1.7".  Of course, JDK 1.1.7 is not yet available, 
but if you need a solution right now, there is a workaround posted on the 
Bug Parade as well.  It is really getting near time for them to release 
JDK 1.1.7, but it seems the Java guys have been running into problems 
with the 1.2 beta and with HotSpot, so who knows when they will release 
it.

To get to the Bug Parade, you must join the Java Developers Connection 
(JDC), but that is free;  you just have to fill out a form.  The URL for 
the Bug Parade is:
