[logo] Solution: "Ripple button" misbehaves

>> Phenomenon

The ripple button is not animated even though the message or a chat window has just appeared.

>> Cause

This is considered to be a problem of the implementation of J2SE on Windows.

Windows' J2SE thinks it gave the input focus (where keyboard inputs are fed) to the window it has opened. However, it is often the case that a window of another application has the input focus, and is displayed in the front of your desktop.

The ripple button does not animate itself when the source of the event has the input focus, because it should mean that the window has already been brought to the front.

>> Solution

While we are thinking of a solution, there is a possibility that it is solved in the future versions of Java implementations on Windows platform.
