Hello,  
I am testing a project on a Mac OS X 10.9.1 with Java 7 installed.  
I can launch the client correctly but i can’t enter any character in the text boxes i put in the window.  
I click in and press any key, but nothing is written…  
Is it a known issue? Any suggestion?  
Thank you

Is the client full screen with hidden menu bars? We do have a known issue with that.

using native clients helps…
