Erik, please help teruko. I am not sure she know how to type Latin 1 character in Linux at all. She may not have the right keyboard mapping.

This is from Allan's mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But I did find one way to change the keyboard. It's ugly and dangerous, but it works. 1) Be careful: if you enter invalid data into this file, bad things could happen. 2) open a terminal in linux. 3) edit your XF86Config file in your favorite editor. Only root can do this, so you will need to know the root password for the machine you are working on. You can edit this file in (at least) two ways: % su root # emacs (or vi or pico) /etc/X11/XF86Config --or-- % su -c "pico -w /etc/X11/XF86Config" 4) Save a copy of this file in case you make a mistake. 5) In this file, search for the line that reads: XkbLayout "us" 6) Edit this line (be sure that it doesn't begin with a '#'--those lines are only comments). Insert the keyboard language of your choice. XkbLayout "de" (or "fr" or ?) NOTE: I don't know what all the actual language codes are. They should contain all the languages available for Latin1, Latin2, and Euro, as well as Cyrillic. I haven't experimented much (See step 1) 7) once you edit the line, save the file and reboot the machine. To change your settings back to the original ones, follow steps 1 to 6 again, or substitute the copy you made in step 3, then reboot your machine.

I tested German keyboard layout in 10-18-08 Linux build. It works fine. I need to test the different language keyboard.
They are not "legal" for URLs, at least as an accepted standard, but we've been able to type them in 4.x to do file selection (c:\temp\αινσϊ.html can be typed and the file with that name will be displayed). So, we are not backwards compatible. But the scope of the bug is bigger than URLs. You cannot Search for any non-ascii word with the Search button, since you cannot type it. Cannot be typed in the Search box either (that would be a workaround, but it doesn't work).

Also, Internet Keywords are typed into the URL field in 4.X. I don't know if 5.0 will do the same thing, but my guess is that it will...

The XIM code was switched on again recently, so GDK keyboard input is being converted to Unicode again. I tested this using the latest nightly build, and it was OK. Marking FIXED.
