Swing 1.0 :
The JTextComponent's derived objects does not allow entering of ^@`|{~ on european keyboards.
All these chars needs Alt-Gr pressed.

To test, simply create one JTextField, and try, on a french keyboard, to enter \ (Alt-Gr 8).

From a duplicate bug report:



Name: rk38400 Date: 05/19/98


The following test program starts a window which
contains a JTextPane and an awt TextField.
Try to enter curly braces { and } into the
TextField and JTextPane, they show up in the awt
TextField for JDK 116 or JDK1.2beta3, but not in
JTextPane for JDK116+Swing1.0.1 or Swing1.0.2.

You may try this on with a swedish keyboard,
or with an English keyboard by doing:
1. add the Swedish (or Swedish(Finland)) keyboard
to your keyboard list using Windows' control panel.
2. Switch between English and other keyboards by
pressing the leftAlt+Shift
3. once you are on Swedish (or Swedich Finland)
keyboard, rightAlt+7 is the { (left brace) and
rightAlt+0(zero) is the } (right brace).

Here is the testing program:

//import com.sun.java.swing.*;
import java.awt.swing.*;
import java.awt.TextField;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
public class TestTextPane {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
JPanel pane = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setText("Try to type the letters you have problem with here.");
JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane();
scroller.getViewport().add(textPane);
JFrame f = new JFrame();
pane.add(scroller);
pane.add(new TextField(), "South");
f.getContentPane().add(pane);
f.setSize(200, 150);
f.show();
    }
}
