159962 - compose-key produces unwanted extra characters

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 82973

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Rade Kutil]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020614
BuildID:    20020614

On Suns there is this compose-key. When you want to produce an ö (ouml) you can
type 'compose " o'. I always get "ö instead of ö (i.e. the modifier-character is
not suppressed). This happens in all edit fields in Mozilla such as the URL bar
and form fields (like the one I'm currently typing into).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla on Solaris
2. go to URL bar
3. Type compose+"+o

Actual Results:  "ö

Expected Results:  ö

I am using: Sparc-Solaris-5.8, Mozilla 1.1a Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u;
en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020614.
This ALSO happens in: Netscape 6.2.3
This does NOT happen in: Netscape 4.7* for Solaris, Mozilla 0.9.8 on a remote Linux.

Marking as a duplicate of bug 82973.  Apparently you can fix this problem by
applying a Solaris patch (see bug 82973 for details).  Please re-open or comment
on that bug if this fix doesn't work for you.
