The Robot implementation on Linux did not consult the current layout when mapping from a KeyCode to a hardware code. Internally it retrieved results for all the layouts but just picked the first one it saw leading to random effects. Though not part of the original bug report, the code also ignored the shift level when choosing which result to pick. On a French layout the dollar sign is on two keys (AltGr 4 is the second one) and the code could choose either one. Same is true for pound.
This PR consults the current layout and only on shift level 0 which is the same level used in get_glass_key to figure out which KeyCode to assign when generating a KeyEvent. ------------- Commit messages: - Robot no longer gets confused by multiple layouts Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/718/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jfx&pr=718&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8278924 Stats: 86 lines in 3 files changed: 73 ins; 8 del; 5 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/718.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx pull/718/head:pull/718 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/718
