Description polesz 2013-02-26 17:41:48 UTC
I'm using Netbeans 7.3 on a Fedora 18 GNOME (default) spin.

Using the Dvorak UK keymap, I can't input accented letters (to input such a character, like "á", I have to press L3Shift+/ (Right Alt+Q on a QWERTY keyboard) followed by A). Accented letters that can be typed with one keypress (optionally with a modifier like L3Shift), like é is still possible.

Switching to my native language's QWERTY-like layout, everything works fine.

Could you please test your input when running a plain swing editor by

java -jar <path-to-jdk>/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar

to see whether the problem is jdk related? Thanks.

Well yes, it seems so. I had no other Java software on this machine, thus I thought it's a NetBeans issue. Thank you for pointing out, I go and report it upstream.

Thanks. Closing as invalid.
