I use Solaris 8, CDE Window Manager and Java SDK 2 v1.3.1. The keyboard is a
Sun type 6 USB keyboard. The keyboard layout is modified through xmodmaprc as
follows (to mime Hungarian keyboard layout in order to access hunarian accented
characters via one key press (remapped pairs: a'-;, e'-', i'-`, o'-=, o:-0, o"-
[, u'-], u:--, u"-\)):
keycode 59= 0xe1 0xc1 0x27 0x22
keycode 58= 0xe9 0xc9 0x3b 0x3a
keycode 60= 0xed 0xcd 0x60 0x7e
keycode 53= 0xf3 0xd3 0x3d 0x2b
keycode 46= 0xf6 0xd6 0x30 0x29
keycode 52= 0xfc 0xdc 0x2d 0x5f
keycode 54= 0xf5 0xd5 0x5b 0x7b
keycode 56= 0xfb 0xdb 0x5c 0x7c
keycode 55= 0xfa 0xda 0x5d 0x7d
keycode 125= 0xff1b 0xff1b 0xff1b 0xff1b
keycode 48= 0xffca 0xffca 0xffca 0xffca
keycode 102 = 0xffb7
keycode 99 = 0xffb4
keycode 100 = 0xffb5
keycode 101 = 0xffb6
keycode 94 = 0xffab
keycode 92 = 0xffd7
keycode 106 = 0xffff
keycode 104= 0xffb9
keycode 103= 0xffb8
keycode 96= 0xffb1
keycode 97= 0xffb2
keycode 98= 0xffb3
keycode 105= 0xffb0
keycode 35= 0x7a 0x5a
keycode 36= 0x79 0x59
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
keycode 108 = NoSymbol

Though there's no problem with AWT components and the accented characters,
swing components does not receive KEY_PRESSED events for the 'accented' keys,
the key code in the events is always zero, and the key char differs in
KEY_RELEASED from that of KEY_TYPED in case of the super-ASCII unicode
characters.

The (somewhat edited) result of the test code is (P=pressed, T=typed,
R=released. The format is EventTypeKeyCode-KeyChar-(int)KeyChar). Keys pressed
are ;[=a in both cases
AWT component
P0-?-233 T0-?-233 R0-?-233
P0-?-245 T0-?-245 R0-?-245
P0-?-243 T0-?-243 R0-?-243
P65-a-97 T0-a-97 R65-a-97

Swing component
T0-?-233 R0-?-233 # missing key pressed event
T0-o-337 R0-?-245 # different (code page converted) key char in KEY_RELEASED
T0-?-243 R0-?-243
P65-a-97 T0-a-97 R65-a-97 # correct result for regular key

Listening to AWT key events provides an even weirder result... UNcomment
commented lines to experience it.

The test code follows:

import java.util.*;

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


public class TestFrame extends JFrame
{
public TestFrame()
{
addWindowListener(new ExitAdapter());

TextField textField = new TextField();
JTextField textField2 = new JTextField();

getContentPane().add(textField, BorderLayout.NORTH);
getContentPane().add(textField2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

KAdapter adapter = new KAdapter();
textField2.addKeyListener(adapter);
textField.addKeyListener(adapter);

/*
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(adapter,
AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
*/
}



public static void main(String[] args)
{
TestFrame frame = new TestFrame();

frame.pack();
frame.show();
}


class KAdapter extends java.awt.event.KeyAdapter implements
java.awt.event.AWTEventListener
{
public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent event)
{
/*
System.out.print(" AWT" + event.getID() + " ");
*/
}

public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)
{
key(e, 'T');
}
public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)
{
key(e, 'P');
}
public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)
{
key(e, 'R');
}
public void key(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e, char type)
{
int code = e.getKeyCode();
char khar = e.getKeyChar();
int charInt = (int) khar;
System.out.print(type);
System.out.print(code);
System.out.print('-');
System.out.print(khar);
System.out.print('-');
System.out.print(charInt);
System.out.print(' ');
if (type == 'R')
System.out.println();
}
};
}

I have not experienced these problems on Windows 2000, Java SDK 1.3.1,
Hungarian regional settings.

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
with French locale and French keyboard.


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
KeyPressed Event is not called, when I pressed accented
characters from the French keyboard.

? 00B2 Superscript two
? 00E0 Latin small letter a with grave
? 00E7 Latin small letter c with cedilla
? 00E8 Latin small letter e with grave
? 00E9 Latin small letter e with acute
? 00F9 Latin small letter u with grave


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run the following program
2. Key in the following list to jTextField1 from French
keyboard
//exp: the keycode is displayed as well as other keys.
//act: nothing is displayed.

? 00B2 Superscript two
? 00E0 Latin small letter a with grave
? 00E7 Latin small letter c with cedilla
? 00E8 Latin small letter e with grave
? 00E9 Latin small letter e with acute
? 00F9 Latin small letter u with grave


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:
The appropriate keycode is displayed on the standard output,
after I key in the accented characters from French keyboard
as well as other key tops.
Actual:
//act: Following keys display nothing to the standard
output.

? 00B2 Superscript two
? 00E0 Latin small letter a with grave
? 00E7 Latin small letter c with cedilla
? 00E8 Latin small letter e with grave
? 00E9 Latin small letter e with acute
? 00F9 Latin small letter u with grave


This bug can be reproduced always.
