I've observed this behavior on both Windows and Solaris.
It is VisAD's expected behavior.

I have observed this with certain OpenGL configurations.  Are your
display drivers current?  If your graphics drivers are fully
functional, you should not see this behavior on either Windows or
Solaris.

I've updated viewer_applet.html so that in the next VisAD release,
it will be "visad.browser.VisADApplet" instead.
