SYMPTOMS
========
When you are using the German keyboard layout on a QWERTY keyboard, the FULL
STOP key located in the number pad section of the keyboard should be replaced by
a comma. However, pressing FULL STOP still displays FULL STOP. If you press the
COMMA key on the standard part of the keyboard, a correct comma is displayed.
The U.S. version of Windows 95 with the German keyboard layout exhibits the same
problem.
CAUSE
=====
This problem is caused by the keyboard driver used with the German layout. The
virtual key codes differ, but the scan codes do not.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that
are listed at the beginning of this article.
