A dev would have to comment on the actual event key processing but I  
suspect the problem is outside of jEdit.
Couple of items I see:
* You are not running anywhere near the latest version of jEdit
* You are running an old JVM that wasn't developed by Sun.  Your  
problem could be this IBM JVM.  Either install and try a Sun edition  
or upgrade your IBM JVM and see if that fixes the problem.  Or do  
both.  I've lost count of how many things in Java apps "just start  
working" if I install the latest JVM.
