Sun in 1.1.6 introduced a new way of generating keyTyped events that
interferes with the correct generation of KeyPressed events. I have fixed
this problem (it appears in Solaris 1.1.6) and added the patch to the code
base. The PowerPC JDK just released an updated jdk116_v2a that fixes this
problem (and many others, see the list below). So all of these fixes should
appear in the v3 release of jdk116 from the x86 camp when Steve comes back
and Karl returns from his honeymoon!
Here is the list of things fixed in PPC jdk116_v2a that should appear in an
upcoming release on x86 / Sparc platforms:
- Bad or Missing KeyPressed events are fixed (a Sun bug)
- X11Graphics_drawString multi-thread corruption fix (a Sun bug)
- List fix to allow removing item 0 (thanks Juergen and Steve)
- getlocalhost fix (chis)
- workaround for Motif bug that causes seg-faults
I am also working on fixing the blocking on STDIN ready thread problem. A
fix should come soon and sooner if ....
Does anyone know (under Linux) can you set one fd to be blocking (such as
stdin) and a dup of that fd to be non-blocking at the same time? According
to Steven's Advanced Unix Programming, you can not under most Unixes? Does
anyone know the correct answer?
Thanks,
