197445 - [GTK2] unable to type accentuated character (compound with dead key) with gtk2 mozilla version

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176514

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jérôme Augé]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314

With the gtk2 version of Mozilla, on RedHat 8.0, I'm unable to enter accentuated
characters in HTML forms, and the mozilla text fields (URL, etc.), with "dead
key" and french keyboard.

Typing '^'+'o' should display the 'פ' character but it display the 'o' char.

Other accentuated chars (like יטא) are working correctly, this problem only
affect the "compound" chars.

I tried the gtk1+xft version and accentuated chars with dead key are working as
expected. So the problem is with the gtk2 version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Typing "compound" chars does not work with mozilla with gtk2 support
