[ jEdit-devel ] GrabKeyDialog and jdk1.4

[Alan M. <yee...@ya...>]

Slava,

As I said in my reply to Adolfo, the GrabKeyDialog didn't 
work when I compiled and ran 3.2pre6 under jdk1.4.  There 
were no entries in the log file, meaning that the dialog 
was not even receiving the KeyEvents.  I tried intercepting 
the events in the ContentPane and the GlassPane, with the 
same (lack of) result.  Finally, I subclassed JTextField 
and put your processKeyEvent() method there.  The attached 
file works for me under jdk1.3 and 1.4.

I don't think this is the intended behavior; the new focus 
subsystem is seriously buggy.  But this approach should 
still work even after they get it working (he said with a 
smugness born of naivete).
