JTextComponents do not receive a KeyEvent when NumLock is on and I press the
decimal button on the num pad with german keybord layout. I expect a KeyEvent
with (!!)keyChar==','(!!) and KeyCode==VK_DECIMAL. When NumLock is off I
receive an Event for delete( this is correct ). Any other applicaiton doesn't
show this phenomenon except Java. Changing all keybord layout to US or Hungary,
it works.

My System:
Suse Linux 7.2, Kernel 2.4, icewm window manager. In the /etc/X11/XF86Config
file, this type of keyboard is specified as:

   XkbModel "pc104"
   XkbLayout "de"

Under Linux hitting the decimal dot on the keypad while numlock is on, does not generate an event for a typed character. X11 generates a KP_SEPARATOR event, but KP_SEPARATOR is not mapped in /src/solaris/native/sun/awt/canvas.c.

Under Windows on the other side this key (VK_SEPARATOR) is mapped correctly to java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SEPARATER and generates the key events correctly.

There is no way for me to fix this right now and almost all of our customers are using the keypad heavily.

You can easily reproduce the problem in any JTextField.
