With JDK 1.1.8C and later, when I press or release the Return Key
on awt Components, keyDown or KeyUp method receives 13 (CR: Carriage
Return) as a key code.
With JDK 1.1.8B and before, it receives 10 (NL: New Line).
When I use the new event model, keyCode is always 10.

Though this takes place only when using the old event model, it may
cause problems with old application.

==Sample code
import java.awt.*;

public class B extends Frame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
B f = new B();
f.setBounds(100, 100, 100, 100);
f.setVisible(true);
}

    public boolean keyDown(Event event, int key) {
System.out.println(event);
System.out.println(key);
return true;
}

public boolean keyUp(Event event, int key) {
System.out.println(event);
System.out.println(key);
return true;
}
}

== Result with JDK 1.1.8H
java.awt.Event[id=401,x=0,y=0,key=13,target=B[frame0,100,100,112x100,layout=java
.awt.BorderLayout,resizable,title=]]
13
java.awt.Event[id=402,x=0,y=0,key=13,target=B[frame0,100,100,112x100,layout=java
.awt.BorderLayout,resizable,title=]]
13

== Result with JDK 1.1.8B
java.awt.Event[id=401,x=0,y=0,key=10,target=B[frame0,100,100,112x100,layout=java
.awt.BorderLayout,resizable,title=]]
10
java.awt.Event[id=402,x=0,y=0,key=10,target=B[frame0,100,100,112x100,layout=java
.awt.BorderLayout,resizable,title=]]
