When running on Linux (kernel 2.2.14, XFree86 3.3.6), the Enter key is ignored
in JTextFields when Num Lock is active. This prevents actionEvents from being
sent by the JTextField when the Enter key is pressed.

The following simple program demonstrates this behavior:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

public class Test extends JFrame {
    private JTextField ta;

    private class TestActionListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
System.out.println(e.getActionCommand());
ta.setText("");
}
    }

    public Test()
    {
super("Test Window");

ta = new JTextField(15);
ta.addActionListener(new TestActionListener());
getContentPane().add(ta);
setSize(200,200);
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
Test t = new Test();

t.show();
    }
}

For example (starting with numlock off):
Input Output
---------------------------------------------------
abcdefg<enter> abcdefg
1234567<enter> 1234567
<numlock>
abcdefg<enter>
1234567<enter>
<numlock>
<enter> abcdefg1234567
