1) include a call to map.requestFocusInWindow() in the "onMouseUp" event of the mapcontrolAND2) add key listeners to the map control to listen to the AWT key events: map.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() { public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent theEvent) { System.out.println("keyPressed"); } public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent parm1) { System.out.println("keyReleased"); } });To test the workaround in the project 528704, enable the two pices of code enclosed between the comments "// ENABLE THESE LINES TO SOLVE ISSUE " in the file MapEventTest.java. The workaround works fine in 9.1 and 9.2
