Text input fields in Swing stop working on OS X when holding keys down
I discovered a strange problem with Swing text input fields on OS X Yosemite (using Oracle JDK 8). When I hold down any letter or number key while a text input field has the focus, I can afterwards no longer enter anything in any field of the current JFrame. I then have to close the frame and reopen it to be able again to enter text. The default behaviour in OS X is to bring up a small menu to choose special letters from when holding down a key for a longer time. I guess that the Swing inputs do have a problem with that. Did anyone else also notice this, and is there a solution to this problem
