Folks,
I filed a bug about a missing KEY_TYPED event for Shift+Tab for JRE
1.6 and up a while ago. Now I've found an additional case where it
manifests itself. If you have two text fields on a frame, the second
of which is setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false), then typing Shift+Tab
in the first field and then any letter will swallow that letter. This
is because the DefaultKeyboardFocusManager sets the
consumeNextKeyTyped flag on the Shift+Tab, which then suppresses the
next KEY_TYPED. Since the KEY_TYPED for Shift+Tab is missing, it
swallows the next normal key.
While investigating this, I also wondered about the fix for bug
6637607, which is mentioned in
DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.processKeyEvent(). It looks very
asymmetrical, the else only being present on the FORWARD case, but not
on the subsequent, basically copy-pasted blocks. Shouldn't one always
reset consumeNextKeyTyped right at the start of the if-block? Like so:
if (focusedComponent.getFocusTraversalKeysEnabled() &&
!e.isConsumed())
{
consumeNextKeyTyped = false;
or maybe like so:
if (focusedComponent.getFocusTraversalKeysEnabled() &&
!e.isConsumed())
{
if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) consumeNextKeyTyped = false;
Thoughts?

Synopsis: Shift+Tab no longer generates a KEY_TYPED event; used to
with JRE 1.5
Description:
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux sapient 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:12:12 UTC
2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If I type Shift+Tab under JRE 1.5, I get a KEY_TYPED event. I do not
get it with JRE 1.6 and OpenJDK 7.
The KEY_TYPED event is only missing for Shift+Tab. Ctrl+Tab is OK, and
Shift+Enter is OK as well.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the app provided below. Then press Shift+Tab and watch stdout.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
This is what JRE 1.5 emits when pressing Shift+Tab:
PRESSED: code=16, char=65535, mods=1, action=false
PRESSED: code=9, char=9, mods=1, action=false
TYPED: code=0, char=9, mods=1, action=false
RELEASED: code=9, char=9, mods=1, action=false
RELEASED: code=16, char=65535, mods=0, action=false
ACTUAL -
Under JRE 1.6 and a preview of OpenJDK 7, I get only:
PRESSED: code=16, char=65535, mods=1, action=false
PRESSED: code=9, char=65535, mods=1, action=false
RELEASED: code=9, char=65535, mods=1, action=false
RELEASED: code=16, char=65535, mods=0, action=false
The TYPED event is missing.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
