; .
, ?
Notice: when a key doesn't display, the corresponding shifted key doesn't work
neither.
>I'll
plead ignorant, do you use a special keyboard too?
I use a standard french keyboard.
Additional informations:
1- I set
local=en_US from local=fr_FR but it doens't change anything to this point.
2- The problem doesn't occur inside a stand-alone application. It's an
applet 1.3-specific problem.
3- The bug occurs in JRE version 1.3.0 and 1.3.0-01 but NOT in 1.2.2.
Waiting for a patch or next JRE version, I use JRE 1.2.2 but I have to
recompile our projects which are usually built in 1.3 and it changes many
things in installation processes of our products. This bug is a pretty hard
problem for our company.

I can't reproduce this with Merlin, too. I use:
- Mandrake Linux 7.2, kernel 2.2.17
- Netscape 4.75
- Java plugin 1.4.0-beta-b48

I've attached a test program I sent to the submitter. I have also attached the output they got from running it. You'll notice that for many of these key combinations keyTyped events aren't generated. As this appears to be an AWT issue, I'm reassinging. Submitter noted that problem doesn't occur with IBM vm. I'll also note that submitter is very helpful, email him for more information if you needed it.

This is probably another instance of 4347983.
Commit to fix in Merlin.

I tested on redhat linux by hooking up a german PC keyboard and changing the
xmodmap to a french layout. It's pretty broken with 1.3, but seems to
work well with Ladybird. Probably a dupe of 4371923.

Emailed the submitter for more information (i.e. his xmodmap)

This was probably fixed with all the keyboard work we did in Ladybird
and Merlin (e.g. 4371923).
eric.hawkes@eng 2001-03-26
We tried to contact the submitter, but no response. I'll ask again after
beta3 is released.

This bug requires a French keyboard to verify, which most of us do not have.
Therefore, SQE does not need to verify this fix.
