Description of problem: If I try to write a tilde on my Swedish keyboard in Sun Java 6 nothing is typed if I use (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.fc6.i386.rpm). It works fine in FC4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install jdk 6 from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Use binary version to avoid messing up your rpms. Make sure java and javac is first in your path. Set JAVA_HOME to point at your java installationinstallation. 2. Use an international keyboard, i.e. a keyboard that have separate alt and alt-Gr keys. 3. Set language to swedish try to type a tilde. This character is typed by holding down alt-gr and ^ then pressing space. Or pressing alt-gr ^ directly followed by ^ Actual results: No tilde shows up Expected results: Tilde should have been typed Additional info: I'm using a thinkpad 50e with intel i915. It doesn't seam to matter if I use the new fancy AIGLX or not. I think to it worked in an unpatched version of FC6 (with a prereleace of JDK1.6) but the functionionality seam to have bean lost in after some patching. (It doesn't work on a fully patched system even if I run the prerelease of JDK1.6 that once worked). I have no problem writing a tilde in other applications. I attach a small program, that shows the keyboard events as java sees them that might be helpful when debugging. Start it by typing: java -jar test.jar The jar file also contains the source code, in case you like to inspect it.

Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
It seam to work now with the latest version of Sun Java and the latest updates to FC6, so it was probably Suns fault. So, I suggest you close the bug even though I havn't been able to test it with current versions of Fedora. I will hopfully be able to test them this weekend, and in the unlikely event that the bug reappears in new versions of fedora the bug could be reopened.
Thanks for letting us know.
