FULL STOP Key on German Keyboard Layout Displays Comma Instead (258668)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q258668

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.
