181947 - Can't type international characters into plugins

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

We currently drop non-ASCII key codes on the floor when converting from Cocoa to
EventRecord key events. This breaks typing of international characters in plugins.

To repro:
1. Load www.macromedia.com
2. Try to type "mélée" into the search field (using option-e to get the acute).

Attachment: Patch to fix lots of plugin key event issues

The relevant part of this patch is the new function ConvertUnicodeToCharCode(),
which calls ConvertFromUnicodeToPString() to convert the Unicode char to a
charCode using the system script.

Checked in the patch. I was not able to find a plugin that takes Japanese input
for testing; if you find one, please add it here as a testcase.

Do we know if typing Japanese works? Some testcases at
