Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

BuildID:    2002041711

Mozilla doesn't seem to be recognising my keyboard properly - it thinks that
some key positions (ie: the " and @ keys) are swapped; it's mapped my PC
differently. This problem isn't due to multiple country installs on my box -
when I click into another app, the mapping's fine, and all keys work as they
should. 

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find a page with a text box.
2.Type something involving quotation marks (double).
3. Check results.

Actual Results:  quotation marks (double) shown as @.

Expected Results:  Quotation marks (double) should be shown onscreen as "

what keyboard layout are you using
what keyboard are you using
does this happen in netscape 6.0
can you run osk.exe, take pictures of your keyboard layout and attach them here
does the keyboard layout in osk (on screen keyboard) match that of your 
computer
what flavor of w2k are you running? (i'm running w2k advanced server w/ 
terminal services)
can you type a keyboard layout in say notepad and paste it here and then type 
the same thing in mozilla so that we can see how your keyboard is layed out? 
(note that this and the OSK image are duplicates but one might be easier for 
you to do).

i'm using en-us atm in nc4.78w32
`1234567890-=
qwertyuiop[]\
asdfghjkl;'
zxcvbnm,./

ASDFGHJKL:"
ZXCVBNM<>?

are you running internat.exe? if so it's possible for each app to have its own 
input locale... what keyboard layouts do you have installed? (control 
panel>keyboard)

Works for me (build 2002101612, win2000).  Reporter hasn't given more
information for over six months, and I don't think there's enough here to
isolate a problem.
