doh.robot not typing SHIFT + *_ARROW

[Enrique Rafael Muñoz Flores]

Appearently the doh.robot is not working out the combination *_ARROW + SHIFT, I tried *_ARROW + CTRL and it worked, also TAB + SHIFT works ok, so it looks like its that certain key combination which is not working.

Checked out the DOHRobot.java, and its console, but everything was fine. Although for some reason they did not include the log("Releasing key"); for, ctrl, alt and altgraph, on DOHRobot.java Lines 1036-1047.

OS: Windows XP Lang/region: Spanish(Mexico), Mexico Keyboard: Latin America, United States (International).

Please attach a test case using the attach file button.

Here is a simple example, the text should be selected or deselected when you SHIFT+RIGHT/LEFT_ARROW.

Test case as intended.

I reproduced this issue. I was able to make it work by pressing numlock on my keyboard to disable numlock.

This is a known issue in Sun's JRE:

​http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4838497

It is a 6 year old ticket so don't count on it getting fixed. The solution may be to code the applet to turn off numlock at the start of each test via the Java AWT Toolkit API already embedded in the applet.

This problem is causing [dijit/tests/_base/robot/FocusManager.html] to fail.

Fixes #10198. Fixed the FocusManager? test failure on Windows machines by automatically disabling numlock in the robot code before pressing SHIFT+arrow keys.

Fixes #10198. Reorder if statement to only check numlock on Windows.

[haysmark]

Robot jar with code to work with non-Windows systems.

[20705] regresses robot testing on Linux. I've attached the fix, which is to check that the OS is windows before invoking getLockingKeyState.
