Using DEAD_ACUTE key the sequence printed by the Keyboard Event Viewer in the
Monkey Tester -
master branch:
KeyEvent{type=KEY_PRESSED, character=<\u00>, text=', code=DEAD_ACUTE}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_PRESSED, character=<\u00>, text= , code=SPACE}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_TYPED, character=', text=, code=UNDEFINED}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_TYPED, character=<\u20>, text=, code=UNDEFINED}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_RELEASED, character=<\u00>, text= , code=SPACE}
with this PR:
KeyEvent{type=KEY_PRESSED, character=<\u00>, text=', code=DEAD_ACUTE}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_PRESSED, character=<\u00>, text= , code=SPACE}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_TYPED, character=', text=, code=UNDEFINED}
KeyEvent{type=KEY_RELEASED, character=<\u00>, text= , code=SPACE}
Do we need to create a new ticket for DEAD_ACUTE + c ?
Will it be related to JDK-8183521
