Description asm0deuz 2009-01-24 15:02:27 UTC 
I'm using Fedora 10 (32bits)

it’s impossible to type the {}, [], ... signs on with be-latin keyboard layout. All characters using the Alt Gr key
don't work.

Reassigning to editor.
Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2009-01-27 11:22:11 UTC 
Which JDK do you use? 

There was bug in JDK which should be fixed in JDK 1.6.0_10, see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6253172
Comment 3 asm0deuz 2009-01-27 21:31:44 UTC 
I use java-1.6.0-openjdk (1.6.0.0-7.b12)

I've found somewhere on the Net a workaround, launch netbeans with XMODIFIERS='' ./netbeans 

I don't know what XMODIFIERS is but it seems to work. It's a workaround not a solution anyway

Regards
Comment 4 Petr Dvorak 2009-01-27 23:32:32 UTC 
OK, so this is most likely a JDK issue. Please use Sun's JDK 6u10 or newer (or use the workaround you mentioned, if it
is good enough for you). Unfortunately, we cannot do anything on our side in this case (=> WONTFIX).
