Description carlosbr 2009-01-06 18:48:41 UTC
I have a laptop HP, dv2745se pavilion model, that has US international keyboard (with support to special accents; by the
way I'm brazilian).

The issue regards while I'm typing a java code, some special keys ( like ", ~ , ` , and combined letters like á ê õ)
don't work on the NetBeans Editor.
This happens only on the netbeans' editor. Others programs it doens't happen, even on the other java IDE I have installed.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 64 bits with NetBeans 6.5. I also experienced this problem on NetBeans 6.1 (the one found on
Ubuntu repositories). I haven't checked it out on microsoft OS.

Hi, thank you for the report. We will need a little help from you to track it down...

> even on the other java IDE I have installed

This doesn't show anything actually - other Java IDE's usually do not use JDK components, therefore they cannot be used
to check if some issues are reproducible (netbeans is built purely on JDK).

Can you please:

1. Install JDK demos: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-demo"
2. Try to reproduce the issue in the Notepad example: "java -jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar"
-> Is the issue reproducible in Notepad application? Yes -> JDK issue -> probably nothing we can do on our side ->
wontfix:(. If the issue is not reproducible, follow step 3.

3. When the issue happens again, send us a messages.log file (~/.netbeans/6.5/var/log/messages.log) so that we see if
some exceptions were thrown

Please include at least the information from Help>About in your future reports, so that we can see the exact version of
JDK, OS and NB...

Thank you, with regards,

Petr Dvorak

Hi joshis, thanks for your helping.

Yesterday downloaded and installed both NetNBeans 6.5 and Java sun 6 (1.6.0.10) JDK on Windows Vista (Ultimate x86) OS
and this issue doens't happen.

Below follows the information found in the About window on NetBeans:

Versão do produto: NetBeans IDE 6.5 (Build 200811100001)
Java: 1.6.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 11.0-b15
Sistema: Linux versão 2.6.27-11-generic executando em amd64; UTF-8; pt_BR (nb)

I did the first and second steps you described before. The issue also happened on the Notepad example.

Best regards,

carlos

So this is something between your OS and JDK. We can't do much about it in Netbeans. I'm sorry.

Hi again, I'm back here to say that I solved the problem.

I just unckecked the option "enable complex characters support" on System>Administration>Language Support , in Gnome
Environment Desktop. Thus, after rebooting the system, I tried once again to write a code on NetBeans and It was finally
working correctly.

It is here for others that has or will have this problem because of their different languages.

Thank you, when someone else has the same or a similar problem, we will certainly use the information. I will just
change the issue's status to verified>wontfix...

The solution metioned above doesn't work for me. I'm using OpenSuse 13.1.
Comment 11 almino8 2014-10-20 16:21:58 UTC
Just define you keyboard type in system configurations.
