You must be using an older (pre-8) version of Solaris, which requires an older (pre 1.4) version of Java to be used, which doesn’t directly support this. Same for default buttons on dialogs. Additionally, on Unix you will find that the ‘Copy’ operations from various RootCause windows such as Trace Events don’t show up in your X-Windows clipboard. See the section entitled Platform-Specific GUI Issues in Chapter 8 of the RootCause User’s Guide for details, but the quickest fix is to start the X-windows application “xclipboard”. When you copy something to the clipboard from Java, it will appear in the xclipboard window. You can then select it there and middle-click to paste elsewhere.
