This bug present also on JDK1.3.0 (final) - I'm using Win
NT 4.0 SP5 (Russian). This problem forces Russian (and non-
English) developers to use JDK 1.2.2, which has no this bug.
I wonder what for SUN has wrote that this bug fixed in RC2 ?

This bug is also a major problem for users of the Dvorak
keyboard layout and JDK 1.3.
When both Dvorak and QWERTY keyboard layouts are installed
the user have to use JDK 1.2.2.

You can work around this problem by passing in a new locale
at the command line:
eg
-Duser.region=ES
This will force the keyboard layout to be Spanish for
example.

For WinNT 4.0SP5(RUSSIAN) method
-Duser.region=code doesn't work.

We worked around the problem by using our own subclasses of
Window in which we defined our own getInputContext() method
that returns an InputContext object initialized with
an 'empty' Locale.
With that the keyboard type is set to the default input
locale.
We are not sure if this work-around is side-effect free,
but it seems to work properly in our application.
The code looks like this:
import java.awt.im.*;
[...]
protected InputContext inputContext;
public InputContext getInputContext() {
if (inputContext == null) {
inputContext = new FixedInputContext();
}
return inputContext;
}
protected class FixedInputContext extends InputContext {
public FixedInputContext() {
super();
super.selectInputMethod(new java.util.Locale("", ""));
}
}

Same problem occurs in an AWT *Applet* inside a
java.awt.TextArea using:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.00.3103.100
Java Plug-In Standard International Edition 1.3.0-C
(could not get 1.3.0_1 to adequately work as
non-Administrative user)
...a swiss keyboard
...the loaded locales French (Switzerland)
English (Unites States)
...with French the 'default input locale'
...and 'English (United States)' as 'your locale'
(is this the same as the system default locale??)
The TextArea assumes I have a US keyboard.
But the ALT+SHIFT workaround is ok...for now.

Swing text areas don't function correctly with the Dvorak keyboard layout.
Platform: Win2k
Simulation:
1. Change QWERTY layout to Dvorak layout
(Start-->Control Panel-->Keyboard-->Language-->Properties-->United States-Dvorak-->OK)
2. Start a Java Swing application that uses a text area (e.g. jEdit).
3. Type something into the editor window. The keyboard works like a
Dvorak keyboard.
4. Switch to some other window by pressing ALT+TAB. Switch back to
the Java app by pressing ALT+TAB.
5. Type something into the editor. The keyboard handler malfunctions
behaving like QWERTY board.
6. Switch to some other window by pressing ALT+TAB. Switch back to
the Java app by pressing ALT+TAB.
7. Type something into the editor. The Dvorak layout is functioning correctly now.
8. loop end -- goto step 4.
