194820 - Cant type accented chars in forms, dialogs or URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176514

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Danilo Figueira Câmara]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211

I can not type accented chars anywhere in Mozilla 1.3b. It was fine before I
upgraded from Mozilla 1.2.1. My keyboard is pt_BR (Brazilian ABNT II) and is
working right in others applications. In Mozilla I can type special chars like
'ç' but not 'ã' which is a combination of '~' and 'a'. I cant even type '~' here.

My workaround by now is Copy and Paste from other applications.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to type 'ã' ('~' followed by 'a') in a text field in a form
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I got an 'a' (accent keys not working)

Expected Results:  
displayed 'ã'

Is this an XFT/gtk2 build, or a normal one (which exact file did you install from?)

I installed the RPMs for RedHat 8.0 from Mozilla site:

mozilla-1.3b-0_gtk2_xft
mozilla-mail-1.3b-0_gtk2_xft
mozilla-nspr-1.3b-0_gtk2_xft
mozilla-nss-1.3b-0_gtk2_xft
mozilla-psm-1.3b-0_gtk2_xft
