<AWT Dev> Key code of VK_ALT_GRAPH

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Walter,

1. Does this work correctly with OpenJDK 7? What about OpenJDK 8? If it 
works fine with these versions, I suggest to upgrade your JDK.

2. Are you just reporting a bug? If this is the case, please do so at 
http://bugs.sun.com/. However, an OpenJDK-6-related bug is unlikely to 
get much attention unless a suggested fix is also provided.

3. If you want to suggest a fix, however, you're very welcome to do so! 
Please send your patch to this mailing list for a review. I suggest to 
fix this issue in the latest JDK where this doesn't work as expected 
first, and then back-port the fix to whatever earlier releases you may want.

best regards,
Anthony
