A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When running applet with JFrame as main window all input into JTextFields and other text input's is limited to a-z. if I try inputting ������������ nothing is getting inputted. Even if I add a key listener, there are no chars coming in.

I tried reverting to java 7 u55 and there it works as expected.

I also tried removing the JFrame and adding the textfield to the applet itself and that also works as expected. so it seems to be connected to the JFrame.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 7u45

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
open applet page
applet will launch
try entering ������������ into textfield

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
the textfield should now contain ������������
ACTUAL -
nothing is entered

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
