The character '[' can't be typed in with a belgian keyboard.
I've tried to type it in order to define an array in the source editor of the
  Together Whiteboard / UML Modeler (http://www.togethersoft.com) and it doesn't work !
So, i've repoduced the problem in the JFC/Notepad demo.

EVALUATION Look into for Ladybird richard.ray@eng 2001-03-02 I emailed the submitter on March 2, 2001 asking for the usual information: a copy of his xmodmap, what brand and model his keyboard is, and how the [ character is typed on his system (e.g. shift-2, or whatever). eric.hawkes@eng 2001-03-02 The submitter indicates that he is using a belgian keyboard provided with the HP Brio Ba600 (not a US keyboard with a Belgian xmodmap).

I wonder if adding the missing dead key keysyms to the translation table would fix this bug? Not entirely sure, and no way to test. See bugid 4423661. eric.hawkes@eng 2001-03-08 This may well have been fixed with all the keyboard work we did in Ladybird and Merlin (e.g. 4371923). If not, then adding the appropriate dead keys to the keymap table will probably take care of it. I'll make sure this is done for merlin-beta (4423661). eric.hawkes@eng 2001-03-26 The submitter has confirmed that this bug has been fixed in merlin-beta. eric.hawkes@eng 2001-07-11
