On a UK keyboard, pressing AltGr and a vowel should
generate an accented version of the vowel.
AltGr+aeiuoAEIOU should generate áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ

On JDK1.02, and most current browsers, it does.

On JDK1.1.3 however, AltGr is being treated as
a control key, and the corresponding ASCII code
between 0 and 31 is being generated.

This will result in applets which do not use native
text field/box components getting the wrong
characters.

I suspect this all stems from the fact that AltGr
is indicated by both the CTRL and ALT modifiers.


To recreate the problem, use a simple applet which
displays the key code passed to the applet. The
EventTester applet in Java in a Nutshell is more
than adequate.
