Seems like the bug is caused by Java expecting a different keycode for characters in different languages, but macos ignoring active keyboard layout for keycodes. For example, 'б' keycode=16778289, but when pressed, a keyEvent with keycode=44 is generated. The equivalent key in English layout is ',' which has keycode=44, and when pressed also generates a keyEvent with keycode=44.
