-----------------------------

java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)

Keys 1,2,3,5,7,8,9 and 0 (from keyboard not keypad) don't work in JTextFields
and JTextAreas with JD1.3 on Linux using a French keyboard. Strangely 4 and 6
work!
This can be easyly reproduced with SwingSet2 on the first page (Internal Frames
Demo) when entering a Frame Title.

ATTENTION! : The bug already exists in the bug parade with ID "4362411" but is
closed as not reproducible.

This bug still occurs with current version (see given "java -version" result)
but after a few tests we've been doing I can give you some more information
about it :

- It only happens with French Keyboards
- It only happens on the Linux Platform (we tried on 2 distributions, Debian
and Mandrake and it occurs on both)
- We tried on several PCs (GateWay and DELL's) and it always occurs
- We tried with X Servers 3.3.6 and 4.0.1 and it occurs with both

This bug is critical for us as we were planning to switch or software from 1.2.2
to 1.3 and we can't because of this bug as we have some Linux customers.
