Summary: keyboard problem (German keyboard)

Details: OS: Linux (RedHat & Suse)
jEdit: v2.6final
JVM: Sun JDK1.3 (final)
e-Mail: a_...@gm...

Description:
The following keys produce no characters in the editor area:
<,>,#,',+,*

I am using german keyboard settings.
I suspect the JVM to be the problem, because I've encountered this problem
with jbuilder too.

Hope, you can do something about it.

Yours

Armin

Same with UK keyboard. Suggested fix of using IBM JDK works fine.  Have not
encountered any more keyboard errors with the IBM JDK.

This is still a problem on ver. 3.0pre5 . I can't use the same keyes and
sometimes I have problems with the Danish letters too (I'm using Danish
keboard layout).
I'm running Linux 7.0 with sun JDK1.3, and I have no problems using the
keys in other java swing programs.
