Hi Bae-Chul,
We confirm this in Kestrel "L" on Windows 98 Hebrew. The problem appears
to be a race condition. Here is how we tested:

1. Fill a JTextField with Hebrew text
2. Use the mouse to place the text cursor towards the right end (begining)
of the field
3. Press the "Delete" key several times

Result:

Each time the "Delete" key is pressed, the letter to the left (the next
letter in logical order) of the text cursor is deleted. This is normal
behavior. Pressing the "Backspace" key deletes text to the right
(previous, or earlier in the logical order) of the cursor.

After pressing the "Delete" key the text cursor disappears. This happens
approximately three out of four times the "Delete" key is pressed. There
appears to be no relation to typing speed or character position in the
string. Pressing any other key results in the cursor being redisplayed.

The above results are the same for Hebrew only, mixed Hebrew and English
or English only.

Regards,
