Yeehaw! So far so good! :-) OpenJDK seems a bit sluggish than Sun Java, but the keystroke bug has not yet occurred. Another bonus is that OpenJDK has fixed a Sun Java bug where Java Swing would sometimes draw artifacts from the previous rendering when you re-opened a dialog box. For example, if you re-opened the "Search and Replace" dialog after doing a search and replace, the replacement field would appear to still have text in it -- even though it was really empty. Finally, even the fonts look better with OpenJDK: it finally recognizes the system fonts for Serif, SansSerif, and Monospace (with antialiasing!). Hurray! I'll try running jEdit continuously for a week and report back if the bug occurs (*fingers crossed* again). Many many thanks for your help, Kris.
