#2807 4.3pre9: After some events some keys do not work anymore
When I open up jEdit, all keys on my keyboard work normally. However under certain circumstances some keys aren't responding anymore although in some cases some start "working" again but some aren't until I restart jEdit.
Variant 1: The numeric keypad keys
If I open up jEdit, they work OK. But when I alt-tab to another application and then come back to jedit, none of the keys from the numeric keypad work. They only start working again after I press any of the keys on the larger side of the keyboard and after that, the numeric keys work again until the next focus change. Also, if I use the mouse to switch between apps, the keys seem to continue working, only using alt-tab seems to mess them up.
Variant 2: Local keys: ŠĐČĆŽ (Slovenian/Croatian keyboard)
Upon starting jEdit these keys work but after, for example, opening a file, alt-tabbing to another app and back, opening eg. Utilities -> Global Options and immediately closing the menu, the above keys do not work anymore until I restart jEdit.
While variant 1 is only a minor inconvenience, the second one is highly annoying and makes work difficult. I have tried 2 versions of jEdit, 4.3pre2 and 4.3pre9 (haven't tried 4.3 yet) and the same happens with both.
If any of the following info is of any relevance/help (I can provide more info as needed):

I've seen this as well. I am running a Fedora 8 machine (but have also observed on Fedora 9 as well) using /usr/java/jre1.6.0_05/bin/java. I can usually get it to happen by doing a find with the "auto wrap" option not checked and continuing to press enter to find the next occurrence of a string until I get the popup stating that no more matches were found and asking if I would like to continue from the beginning. Press enter for yes and then none of the keys work until you click something.
Fixed in r13654.
