java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)


I am using Linux (Mandrake distribution) with Xfree 4.0.1 and JDK 1.3.  The
problem is that some keys do not work for Swing applications.  I am using
fi-latin keyset.  Most important missing key is the one between left shift and Z
char, in finnish layout this key produces greater/less-than characters.  This
makes for example using Forte impossible!

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. cd /usr/java/jdk1.3
2. bin/java -jar demo/jfc/Stylepad/Stylepad.jar
3. click mouse on text area so that cursor appears
4. press key between left shift and z character, nothing happens.


ps. The keyboard works fine for AWT applications.
