Problem description
===================
API test api/java_awt/interactive/event/EventTests.html#EventTest0019[EventTest0019] fails 
on RedHat Linux 8/9 with Gnome Desktop using Netscape7.1 jvm plugin (JDK1.5.0beta-b32).
After test starts, new window appears: "Key event                                                    failure or incorrect key typed. Retry?"

This was a part of JCK-runtime-15beta-b11 QA cycle; JCK 1.5 beta1 build11
was tested against JDK 1.5 build 32.


Specific Machine Info:
=====================
Linux jcktest1.sparc.spb.su 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

======================================================================

This interactive test, when run in automated mode, uses the AWT robot to 
type keys, and then checks if key events are generated correctly.
The test fails in the following configuration when run in this mode:
  RedHat Linux 8/9, Gnome Desktop, NS 7.1 jvm plugin

It passes when run in manual mode (ie, when the user rather than the 
robot types keys) in this configuration.

To run the test in automated mode, run the attached script 'runjcktest_automated'.
To run the test in manual mode, run the attached script 
'runjcktest_manual'.
The JDK and JCK paths defined in the script may need to be modified.

Comments
EVALUATION Transferring to classes_awt as this does not appear to be JPI related at first glance, especially as the test works manually, without robot. ###@###.### 2004-01-26 Name: ynR10250 Date: 01/28/2004 failure is due to high autorepeat delay value in the system. Once you change autorepeat delay to something bigger, test pass. This bug is actually a duplicate of 4817479 and is therefore already fixed; fix is integrated into tiger beta build 35. ###@###.### ======================================================================
