In almost all the dialogs which I traversed through, the arrow keys does not seem to work at all. Backspace key though works fine.

The Login dialog of SMC seems to be an exception to this.


Description from 4191281, which was closed as a duplicate of this bug:

Pressing an arrow key causes Components to lose focus and, therefore, you can't type any keys further. This happens only on one of two Japanese Solaris 7 machines.

What we found out are:

  - This doesn't depend on a locale. (i.e., reproducible in both C and ja locales)
  - This often (not always) causes a Japanese input method to freeze.
  - This is reproducible using Notepad, Stylepad, InputDislog of SwingSet and IMFTest (test/java/awt/im/IMFTest).
  - This is not reproducible using PlainText and other components of SwingSet.
  - If Canvas instead of Component is used in IMFTest, it's no longer reproducible in C locale, but still reproducible in ja locale. This means it's possible that there are two separate problems with arrow keys.
