Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
'~' cannot be entered on a Danish keyboard.

Requires alt gr'-�� to enter
'~' is a the alt position of the '��' key

This is not the same but similar to bugs 4957562 , 4935357 .


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Start the NotePad demo, like:
java -jar <path to install dir>/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar

Pressing '~' (alt gr-��) does not  inserted anything (or only a ' ' as a matter of fact). In a similar fashion '��' cannot be entered.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
