Can't use arrow keys to move cursor around TextArea after upgrading to 1.4

843807Oct 3 2005 — edited Nov 4 2005
Hi,

I saw that there have been similar posts, but none are exactly the same nor have they solved my problem...

I've got an older Java application that has been around for many years,
the only updates to it essentially being upgrading the version of the
JDK. So far, upgrading the JDK hasn't caused any issues. However, after upgrading to JDK 1.4, I can no longer use the arrow keys on the
keyboard to move the cursor within a TextArea. You can use the mouse to highlight and you can use the rest of the keys (i.e. type in text,
delete stuff, etc.) but somehow you just can't move the cursor around
by using the keyboard. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I
could do to solve this? Thanks in advance!
