Right click context menu does not appear only for Java 1.7, AWT TextField

Question

I have been debugging some issues that an application has been having with Java 1.7 versus older versions. A new problem I have encountered is that the right click context menu does not function in any TextField. It works fine when running/compiling it with any previous version of Java. I have tried coding a simple test with a Frame, Panel and TextField to see if it might be something else in the more complex application that was causing it, but the simple test class has the same problem.
I have searched for other people having the same issue, but I have not found anything comparable. This seems like a huge change from one version to the next and I am surprised that I am not finding this mentioned anywhere else. Can someone point me to anything that discusses this issue that I am having? Does 1.7 require I implement my own context menu? I realize AWT is old technology, but this is an old, fairly complex application that doesn't use swing, and that is not going to change at this point.
My simple test:
import java.awt.*; 
import java.awt.event.*; 
import java.util.*; 
class testF3 extends Panel 
  public static void main(String args[]) 
    Frame f = new Frame(); 
    Panel p = new Panel(); 
    f.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); 
    f.add("North", p); 
    TextField tf1 = new TextField("", 20); 
    p.add(tf1); 
    Dimension medm = f.getSize(); 
    medm.height = 100; 
    medm.width = 200; 
    f.setSize(medm); 
    f.setVisible(true); 
}

In the past few days since upgrading to 4.0.4, the entire right-click context menu for links is gone and replaced with one item: "Copy Link" The "Open In New Tab" item, along with some other context items, is no longer there.
That's actually a problem with your particular installation of Safari, b. I've got all the contextual menu entries with my 4.0.4.
I helped fix one of these recently here at the forum. Try the procedure from the following post (it got back Tho's missing contextual menu entries):
