We construct a JTable instance and display it in a JFrame. Then, we
input chars in one line of its cells. There is no problem in inputing
ENglish chars, we switch the input method to Chinese pinyin, and it also
has no problem in inputing Chinese, but if we focus on another cell of the
JTable, it can not accept any input, it is a big problem.
Following is a short program to reproduce this problem.
=====================t.java=============================================
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.swing.*;
import java.awt.swing.table.*;

public class t {
    public static void main(String []arg) {
        JFrame f;
f = new JFrame ("test");
f.getContentPane().setLayout( new BorderLayout());
f.getContentPane().add("North",new JLabel("Locale:zh, then switch the table cells and input ..."));
final String[] names = {"First Name", "Last Name", "Tel" };
final Object[][] data = {
{"Mike", "Albers", "Soccer"},
{"Mark", "Andrews", "Baseball"}
};

TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {
public int getColumnCount() { return names.length; }
public int getRowCount() { return data.length;}
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {return data[row][col];}
public String getColumnName(int column) {return names[column];}
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();}
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {return getColumnClass(col) == String.class;}
public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int row, int column) { data[row][column] = aValue; }
};

JTable tableView = new JTable(dataModel);
tableView.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 18));
JScrollPane p = new JScrollPane(tableView);

//f.getContentPane().add("Center",tableView);
f.getContentPane().add("Center",p);
        JButton quitButton = new JButton("Quit");
f.getContentPane().add("South",quitButton);
quitButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
        f.addWindowListener( new WindowListener() {
public void windowActivated( WindowEvent e ) {
}
public void windowClosed( WindowEvent e ) {
}
public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) {
System.exit(0);
}
public void windowDeactivated( WindowEvent e ) {
}
public void windowDeiconified( WindowEvent e ) {
}
public void windowIconified( WindowEvent e ) {
}
public void windowOpened( WindowEvent e ) {
}
});

//f.setSize(600,400);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
    }
}
