I just recently noticed this problem. When I'm working in a java-based program, say JEdit, if the Numlock on my keyboard is on, I cannot press backspace, I cannot use the arrow keys, and no key on the right-most portion of the keyboard works (that includes any of the number keys arranged in a 3x3 pattern, the +, enter, delete, *, /, and any other keys I'm leaving out). I don't remember this being an issue with JDK 1.4. To work around this issue, I have to disable numlock entirely and use the number keys on the top of the keyboard. Besides the fact that this is an inconvenience, it affects any and every program running under the Java virtual machine, so it seems to be a problem in Java itself. To reiterate, if the numlock is turned on, no control characters whatsoever work (tab, backspace, not even the enter key on both sides). Hopefully some others are experiencing the same problems. bsdlogical
