JDK 7 + Red Hat 6 64-bit = WLS 10.3.6 and WLS 12.1 installer not working

Question

Hi,
I have installed Weblogic 10.3.6 and 12.1 on two different Red Hat 6 64-bit servers. I started out using JDK 7 (1.7.0_05) but when I reached the screen where you select which products to install I could not select or deselect anything with the mouse. On others I could not use the keyboard for input. As soon as I switched to JDK 6 everything worked fine.
As a workaround I installed and configured everything with JDK 6 and switched to JDK 7. This works fine and the developers are happy.
But I have discovered that the I have the same problem when I use config.sh, so it is general problem with the GUI and JDK 7.
I opened a Service Request on MOS in June but I don't think the support guy has much of a clue. He has been testing with Windows. His last suggestion was running the installer with -d64, but according to the manual this should only be used when using a 32/64-bit hybrid JDK, which is not the case.
Anybody has any ideas?
Regards Peter

Hi Peter,
I check the SR well I think it not so see to reproduce in other environment.
But we can instead to engineer to reproduce on their environment.
But as of I would suggest to use command line or silent mode to install wls.
Going through GUI will have many complex issue on OS to OS base so best practice is to have such installation using command line or silent modes.
Note: If engineer is unable to reproduce such issue in their environment then Oracle will not consider that is BUG then there would be issue in your environment only.
