Thank you for your reply (and this terrible truth about the applets :).
Well, my investigations show that:
1) The problem can be reproduced on various browsers, including: Internet Explorer 8 Beta, Opera 12.02, Google Chrome 22.0.1229.94 m, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8. So, this is not a browser problem, probably.
2) The problem can be reproduced on computers with various graphic cards, including NVIDIA GeForce 8800GS and ASUS EAH4350. So, this is not a graphic card OpenGL bug problem, probably.
3) I CANNOT reproduce the problem on different operation systems, including: Windows 7 and Windows XP 64-bit.
4) Unfortunately, I cannot check the test with JDK 1.6, because one JAR file is based on JDK 1.7 features (though these features are not used in this particular test actually). Nevertheless, I suppose that the problem is not in JDK version, because similar problem was reported about 10 years ago already (see closed bug 4690088
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4690088), but was not explained and fixed in time. I don’t use fullscreen mode (as in 4690088), but specifying sun.java2d.noddraw=true causes my test application to hang actually.
