Description cubus 2013-03-13 03:38:44 CET 
jogl 2.0 rc-11
windows vista 32 bit
java 1.6.0_39
german keyboard (qwertz)

in keyTyped(), KeyEvent.getKeyChar() returns invalid values for the 'ß' key.

problem 1
---------
'ß'         -> 'ß' (OK)
'ß' + SHIFT -> 'ß' (SHOULD BE '?')
'ß' + ALTGR -> 'ß' (SHOULD BE '\')

problem 2
---------
the first time 'ß' gets typed after application startup:
KeyEvent.getKeyEvent() returns 0
KeyEvent.getKeyChar() returns 65535

problem 3
---------
when typing 'ß' + ALTGR:
KeyEvent.isAltGraphDown() returns false
Comment 1 Sven Gothel 2013-03-13 06:00:59 CET 
v2.0-rc11 is very old and a bug report against this version is invalid,
especially regarding NEWT keyboard input processing - implementation has changed!

Please test your use case against on of the latest aggregated build:
  http://jogamp.org/deployment/archive/master/?C=M;O=D

If you can reproduce and the above constrain is _not_ the case,
please reopen, thank you!
In such case, it would be great if you can use one of our unit tests
to reproduce the bug, or create a new one - and attach it to this bug report
and/or offer a git-patch.
