EVALUATION None of the listed keys are on the primary layer. Probably not a bug. Note that the Exception thrown is a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException, not an InvalidKeyCodeException. eric.hawkes@eng 2000-06-26 It is possible to fix this on Solaris simply by adding the keycodes to the translation table in canvas.c. The same fix will not work for windows, since the key event model used by windows is fundamentally different than that used by X/Motif. Note: this test will not pass on Windows, and I don't think it is desirable to make it pass, unless the user is using a keyboard that has these keys on the primary layer. eric.hawkes@eng 2000-06-30 I tested my fix with a German keyboard, using the en_US locale. The keyboard has the following four keys on the primary layer # + < ^ They were all translated correctly. I also tested my fix with a Japanese keyboard in the ja locale. The keyboard has the following three keys on the primary layer @ ^ : They were all translated correctly. See bugid 4295215. eric.hawkes@eng 2000-07-12
