Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joao S Veiga]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I'm running debian testing, Firefox 1.0PR downloaded from mozilla.org.
- xfree86-common     4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
- kdebase            3.3.0-1, English US
keyboard (an English-US keyboard) is set to:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us_intl -variant basic
(note: there's a bug on xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8, workarounded as suggested here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/10/msg00095.html)

I can type the deadkey ' and c and get the cedilla (ç) on any kde application
(including konqueror), but on Firefox it produces a c with acute accent mark (ć).

This happens on any Firefox text enty field: Text or Input areas on the rendered
page, address or search bar, file name field on "Save as", etc.

Firefox Language is set to "English/United States [en-us]", "English [en]", and
char encoding to Western (ISO-8859-1).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure your keyboard on KDE: (settings, Regional & Accessability, Keyboard
Layout, as "US English w/ deadkeys (us_intl), Layout variant: basic
2. Check if typing 'c produces the cedilla on any kde application
3. Open Firefox 1.0PR and try 'c on any text entry field

Actual Results:  
'c produces ć (accented c) on any Firefox text field, while 'c produces the
correct cedilla on any other kde application

Expected Results:  
after typing ' then c, a cedilla (ç) should show up instead of (ć) on Firefox,
as in the other apps.

Looks like bugzilla didn't get the cedilla, nor the accented c. It shows ç and
ć instead... Well, you'll get the idea.

Character e accent acute and the two next characters are converted to a chinese
double byte character in a text input field. Konqueror browser works.
firefox-1.0.4-1.3.1.i386 doesn't.
Example: I enter  'Sébastien'  but this turn into 'S颡stien' when the form is
re-displayed.
