Thank you for your bug report.

Does this happen with any of the Applets of our Applet page:
  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-test-applets.html>
or
  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-demos/applet-gears.html>

?

Can you be specific about the last working JOGL version ?

So RC8 and RC5 are bugged .. ok.

Note: All Jogamp released versions so far are pre 2.0 status,
      RC stands for release candidate. It's more a matter of taste
      to only reach 2.0 when we are really really satisfied w/ results :)
      We still consider RC versions quite stable.
