176630 - After opening Mozilla at work (where I'm on OS 9), I cannot get accented characters by the usual MAC commands (e.g., option-e e for é [e acute]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178306

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[G.W. (Sandy) McCroskey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529

This isn't a problem with the browser itself so much as an interference with
other apps--although I cannot get the accented characters in Mozilla either, of
course. I am amazed to see that no one has reported this, but maybe people are
daunted by the insistence that problems be put in rather technical language. I
am using Eudora 5 for e-mail and Quark XPress/CopyDesk for my daily tasks at The
Nation magazine. On a 500 mhz G4.

At home, on a 300 mhz G3 and OS 8.6, Mozilla does not interfere with producing
accented characters. (Same version of Eudora. I don't use Quark at home, usually.)

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open, say, Eudora. Type some French, which is then no problem.
2.Open Mozilla.
3.Try typing some French in Eudora.
Actual Results:  
After opening Eudora, I was unable to type the accents in French words.

Expected Results:  
Left my keyboard the **** alone.

I'm using a classic (I think) Netscape (I'm sure) theme at work.
