228367 - High ascii chars can't be entered under any locale

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[David Oftedal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031018 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031018 Firebird/0.7

Starting with version 0.3 or 0.4 (I switched directly from 0.2 to 0.4), high
ASCII chars can't be entered in the message compose window or anywhere in the
program. This happens even when I run Thunderbird with a Norwegian locale
setting, though they should actually work under the en_US.UTF-8 locale.

Interestingly enough, this bug appears also in Firebird, however I'm not sure
it's present in Mozilla itself since the problem only started in Thunderbird 0.3
or 0.4 and Firebird 0.7.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find an area where you can input text.
2. Type a high ascii char using an international keyboard.
Actual Results:  
The character doesn't appear. Or, rather, there's not even a space in its place.
The only results are that there are none.

Expected Results:  
The character should appear.

Never mind, it's some input method hijacking the text input under any locale
