32504 - Unable to create @ sign due to US/German keyboard difference

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 9333

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Reo Fuxfell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)
BuildID:    N/A

On US keyboards, the @ sign is Shift+3 if I recall right... now, on German 
keyboards, it's ALT+Q, but this shortcut pops up a menu in Mozilla, so German 
users can't create the @ sign... easy to fix, but hard to live with, I'd say.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Aim at creating an @ sign.
2. Press ALT+Q
3. Scream as the menu pops up.

Actual Results:  I screamed, hit my monitor with a baseball bat and cursed 
about the imperialistic USA.

Expected Results:  Created an @ sign in the text.

Many people here in Austria/Germany/Switzerland are sick of the MS Internet 
Exploder, and we all looked forward to get Mozilla.. but this bug makes it 
almost impossible to use the browser correctly.. please fix this!

[e-mail], what build were you using, this should have been fixed about a moth 
ago, can you test again.  Reopen if still having troubles.
