Bug 27031 en_US.UTF-8 locale not supported on Motif
Reported: 2002-11-23 18:11:10 | Status: resolved fixed

Ive noticed that some people had problems with accents in several languages. Here's a me-too. I'm using RedHat 8.0 and cannot type accents using dead keys in Eclipse's editor - nothing happens. Usually with other applications I can type tilde+a and get a a with tilde (a). In Eclipse's editor I get the tilde followed by the character a - it seems that it ignores the dead-key combination. My keyboard is a Brazilian ABNT-2 so it has a c-cedilla (c). None of the dead keys works. I've tried to set the LANG environment variable to the following values before running eclipse, without luck: en_US.UTF-8 en_US pt_BR.UTF-8 pt_BR C I've also tried to unsetenv LANG, no success. Had the same problem with the downloads eclipse-SDK-2.0.1-linux-motif.zip eclipse-SDK-2.0.2-linux-gtk.zip eclipse-SDK-2.0-linux-gtk.zip please advise. thanks Rafael
