Caps Lock and Num Lock Keys Work Incorrectly When Starting the Remote Console

Problem

The keyboard Caps Lock and Num Lock work incorrectly when you start a new session of the Remote Console application (JavaRConsole). This occurs when you start a new Remote Console session to a Sun Blade Server Module (blade) because the system defaults to the non-stateful keyboard key lock behavior of the individual client.

Workaround

You must enable the “Stateful Key Locking” option in the Remote Console application. This option is a drop-down selection of the Keyboard menu in the Remote Console window.
