Description

when trying to execute a key combination that includes a modifier, either shift or ctrl, pressandsendkey does not execute the command properly. the key itself gets executed but the modifier does not get applied.

example psuedocode:

Robot.pressAndReleaseKey(keycode for "g", modifier value for "CTRL")

expected output is goto screen pop up

result output is letter g gets typed in cell.

I'm having a similar problem with the SHIFT_MASK. I've tried this:

robot.pressKey(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
robot.pressAndReleaseKey(keyConst);
robot.releaseKey(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);

and I've tried this:

robot.pressAndReleaseKey(keyConst, InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK);

where keyConst = KeyEvent.VK_LEFT

and in both cases I just get KeyEvent.VK_LEFT, not KeyEvent.VK_LEFT with the shift key applied (which in my application would select the previous character).

Why are you unable to reproduce these problems?

Thanks Martin for letting me know about a use case to reproduce this bug.

I hope I'm not interpreting your tone in the question "Why are you unable to reproduce these problems?" as an upset tone ...I clearly said I have attached a use case where I couldn't reproduce it.
