Bug 234433 [Browser] Some characters cannot be entered in forms
Reported: 2008-05-28 13:20:51 | Status: resolved fixed

Build ID: 3.4M7 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Open a Shell with a Browser. 2. Go to a page with forms or text fields (like Google home page). 3. Try to type the character &#324; (AltGr+n) which does not work. AltGr is the right Alt key, usually equivalent to Ctrl+Alt. More information: This bug was reported by a user and after investigation here is all the information we have. - The user is Polish and cannot enter 1 out of 9 national characters: &#261; (AltGr+a), &#281; (AltGr+e), &#347; (AltGr+s), &#263; (AltGr+c), &#380; (AltGr+z), &#378; (AltGr+x), o (AltGr+o) and &#322; (AltGr+l) work but &#324; (AltGr+n) does not. - It is a regression: replacing the SWT JAR from 3.4M7 to 3.3.2 seems to solve that particular issue. - This issue seems to affect the Browser only as this character can be entered in a Text widget. - This character can be entered in Firefox or Internet Explorer (when it is not in an SWT application). This is a major issue as 3.3.2 cannot be used due to other functionalities and bug fixes.
