There seems to be an issue simulating the backspace key with java.awt.Robot.

This thread seems to confirm this but it does not propose a solution.

This works:

Robot rob = new Robot();
rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);
rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_A);

This doesn't:

Robot rob = new Robot();
rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE);
rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE);

Any ideas?

Thanks!
