jdk 1.7.0 b75 - Strange editor behaviour noticed in NetBeans

When I run NetBeans 6.8 beta using JDK 1.7.0 b75, if I enter a double-quote character, it always overwrites the current character instead of inserting.
This seems to occur in any editor window. (Java, XML)
I tested with JDK 1.6.0_16 and JDK 1.6.0_18 and it works fine with both of them.
Any thoughts on this? (I'd be surprised if it's a NetBeans bug, but stranger things have happened)
Regards,
Frank Grimes

Could you clarify the platform you're running Netbeans on (Win/*NIX/Mac), and the locale and input layout of your profile? Are there other layouts installed on your system/profile?
Is it reproducible with a stable NetBeans (6.7.1) on 7b75 as well? With a simple Swing application using a TextField or whatever other text component?

Windows Vista 32-bit
Reproducible on NetBeans 6.7.1.
Also reproducible in GuiFormExamples Swing apps shipped in NetBeans.
I also noticed that while double-quote overwrites, single-quote inserts in the wrong place (after current character instead of before)

And what about the locale on your system, and the keyboard layouts?

Sorry about that... between reading your post and running the tests I must have forgotten about that.
The locale is English/Canada on an English keyboard.
Have you not been able to reproduce the problem?
I can switch to an English/US locale if you think it'll help.

I suggest you file a bug against NetBeans. This might obviously be some change in Swing that just breaks some workaround in the NetBeans code. If NetBeans people figure out this is a problem in Swing, they will file an appropriate bug against us then.

I thought we had established that it isn't just a NetBeans problem... aren't the GuiFormExamples just plain Swing apps?
To confirm, I ran yet another Swing client application and it also exhibits this behaviour.

Apparently, this is actually a duplicate of another issue: 6882912
