Sorry if this has been posted & answered before. I did search & couldn't find this issue exactly.

Using Oracle Java v7u55 (and a few versions prior) on OS X, I keep having the following issues:

  1. Sometimes keys will get stuck in repeat. Could be a letter or an arrow key.
  2. Sending some certain special characters such as ! or a capital letter (seems to be related to shift key) will send some strange character combination. Very frustrating when trying to log in via java console.

These issues seem to be a bit worse in Safari, than FireFox, but they persist in both.
