There are two sets of arrow keys on most keyboards. The swing classes
respond to arrow keys in the non-numeric keypad but do not respond to
the other set of arrow keys.

Once running, select a JList entry and attempt to use the non-numeric arrow keys. The up and down arrows will move the selection up or down; the left and right keys will do nothing. That's as it should be.

Now try the numeric arrow keys (make sure that Num Lock is not lit). nothing will happen. This is a bug.

Note that some keyboards only have the numeric arrow keys; on such keyboards, there are no arrow keys that work to move the selection.

June Zhong just encountered what Hania described when attempting to run the test
api/javax_swing/interactive/JScrollBarTests.html on the FCS candidate.
