[Ivan Izaguirre]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-ES; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-ES; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

Based on bitflux example (see url above), I edit this page with firefox on Windows no problems ocurred, but I can't insert the special characters when I edit this page with firefox on Linux.

Here are a few of the keys which don't work:

´,`,¨,^
á,é,í,ó,ú
à,è,ì,ò,ù
ä,ë,ï,ö,ü


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Edit this page with Bitflux editor.
2.Insert key (´,`,^,¨)
3.Insert key (a,e,i,o,u)
3.No append this character with firefox on Linux
Actual Results:  
No append this character in this page when I edit with firefox on Linux.
With firefox on Windows append this caracter and no problems ocurred

Expected Results:  
Expected result is that appears á,é,í,ó,ú

I can see that the Linux isn't sending a keycode for this keys for keydown/keyup events. (keyCode=0).

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
