FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Mac OS X Lion (10.7.4)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In Java 1.7 some extra events are passed to the metod processKeyBinding in JTable.

REGRESSION.  Regression from Apple's Java 6uX

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Please try and run the snippet below. Put focus in the first cell and press vth character 'A'.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
If you run the same example on Mac Java 1.6 and Windows Java 1.6 + 1.7 you will get the following output:

TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: pressed A TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: pressed A TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed a TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed a TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: released A TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: released A
ACTUAL -
TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed ? TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: pressed A TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed ? TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: pressed A TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed a TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed a TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed ? TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: released A TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: typed ? TableKeyProcessKeyBindingDemo.MyTable.processKeyBinding() - keystroke: released A

As seen above there are four extra "typed ?" in the ouput when run on Java 1.7. These events should be removed since they cause problems in the key binding process.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
