Mr. e-letter (hehe),

It's possible that the JVM isn't cleanly handling this.  Since you may  
be the only one here in possession of a Dvorak keyboard, you may be  
able to shed some light on what is happening.  On both a regular  
keyboard and a Dvorak keyboard, try some of the problem-child  
keystrokes using:
Utilities|Troubleshooting|Keyboard Tester...

The results may give the developers a clue as to where the problem  
lies (even if they can't fix it).  I went through a similar issue a  
long time ago with my numeric keypad not doing what I expected in jEdit.
