125840 - Cannot input into Address Book fields when multiple keyboards are installed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 125065

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 2002-02-15 Win32 trunk build **

About the title, I am not so sure about "under the multiple keyboards .."
part but I suspect users with a single keyboard are not affected. That is 
the only reason I can think of why this problem has not been fixed
for some time.

I use Windows 2000 US version with the default locale set to Japanese
and I installed some 15 keyboards from the install CD. The keyboards include
Japanese, Korean, 2 Chinese ones, English, French, German, etc.

Here's a typical problem:

1. Have either EN or Japanese keyboard selected.
2. Open the Address Book and choose Add New Card
   button.
3. Try to input into any of the fields on the first page of the
   Address Book. I can't because I cannot insert the curson into
   any of the fields.
4. Now switch the keyboard to JP or EN whichever it is not set to
   currently. You will notice that the fields are suddenly
   capable of taking input.

Another way in which the problem crops up.

1. Read a mail message.
2. Select the sender name & address in the view pane and right-click
   on the mouse to bring up the context menu. Choose "Add to Address Book"
   menu.
3. This bring up the Address Book with Display name and 
    e-mail address fields filled in already -- usually.
4. However, you cannot input into any other fields.
5. Again the workaround is to switch the keyboard from the current
   one to something else.
