JTextField: Keyboard with different language problem

[LuckyStarr]

Hi all,

I have a JTextField that forbids, for some reason, the entering of special characters like '@', '[' or ']' when using a german keybord. Other kinds of keyboard (like the american) work well.

The german keyboard has its keyboard layout set for German, input locale German (or English, it doesn't matter, the result is the same).

Another fact: using the following sequence, I can enter the special characters.

CTRL-ALT-q for character @

CTRL-ALT-8 for character [

CTRL-ALT-9 for character ]

Could you help me with this problem? Is there some property in JTextField related to that? Or some kind of configuration that has to be done about the keyboard being used?

That's suspicious.
What OS?
I had problems in former times to display öäüÜÄÖß in former times (bad system language/locale setup), but @[] did work allways...
