We had similar report some time ago, please see issue #74014 for details. It turned out to be JDK problem and if I am not mistaken the solution was either to use the latest update of JDK6 or to use Xsun instead of Xorg. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 74014 *** |
I am using NetBeans 6.0.1 on a Windows machine to which I connect via a SunRay with Sun Connector (uttsc) and a German Sun keyboard. In the editor, when I want to enter a "{", I press <AltGraph>+<7>. What happens is that the File menu is selected, which is the same behavior when pressing Alt instead of AltGr. (As for programming you need {,[,],} a lot this is a real nuissance). Interestingly this does not happen * when using other programs like the Shell, Notepad, Emacs * when using JEdit instead of NetBeans (so, this seems not to be Java-related) * when connecting to the Windows machine with rdesktop instead of uttsc So, maybe this is a Sun Connector issue, but as it only appears with NetBeans, I suppose it is more a bug there (or some kind of non standard-conformance).
