Synopsis Impossible to type a question mark (?) on Linux (red hat 7.0)
Category java:install
Reported Against 1.3.0_01
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4371923, bug
Priority: 3-Medium

Submit Date 20-NOV-2000
Description




java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)


Cannot type question mark ('?' -character) in swing text field.

Environment:
RedHat linux 7.0
Finnish keyboard settings
X11R6 4.0.1

Steps to reproduce:
-install jdk1.3.0 for linux (or 1.3.0_01)
-cd into the demo/jfc/SwingSet2 -directory in the jdk directory
-run java -jar SwingSet2.jar
-try to type "?" in the Frame title -field. It will not work.

I tried the same with blackdown JDK 1.3.0 implementation and it works correctly.

The bug makes it impossible for me to install JBuilder 4.0 Foundation as it
requires a licence key which has '?' -character.
