Hi Dave,

I'm from AWT group.
You have described two different keyboard problems. Second one, that with numlock, is easy to remedy: if you use Java 1.5.0_03 or bigger than _03, set on this failing system an environment variable _AWT_USE_TYPE4_PATCH=false. If you use Java 1.6.0, you don't need it any more.

First problem is not that easy to fix. It is fixed in 1.6.0 as a by-product of the serious refactoring of the relevant code but I'm afraid it's hard to backport all this to 1.5.0. 

Thanks,
Yuri
