/*
  Program to illustrate the Alt-Arrow bug.

Under JDK 1.3 and earlier, if I hold down the alt key and type an arrow,
nothing happens. Nothing should happen, so this is good.

Starting in JDK 1.4b2, I get extraneous characters when I type alt-arrow.

This may not sound like a big deal, but there are other applications that
define alt-arrow, so that makes it an easy mistake to make. It may also be a
symptom of a more serious problem with event handling.

  To reproduce, run this program. Click into the JTextField, the JTextArea,
or the JEditorPane. Hold down the alt key and type any of the four arrow
keys. Under JDK 1.4b1 or earlier, nothing happens. Under JDK 1.4b2, strange
characters get inserted into the text.

In JTextField when I press ALT + PGUP appears "c".

    }
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I press the character "c", I become the output:

key pressed:c:0
key typed:c:0
key released:c:0

When I press ALT + PGUP, I become the output :

key pressed:?:8
key pressed:?:8
key released:?:8
key released:?:0
key typed:c:0
