272590 - Other Programs Fail to Display Option Characters (e.g., French, German) Correctly when Mozilla Is Running: Word 5.1A, Eudora 5.2, Appleworks 6

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[aws2]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When I move DIRECTLY from Mozilla to another program, at least including Word
5.1A, Eudora 5.2, and Appleworks 6, two-key special characters, such as e-acute
(option e-e), u-umlaut (option-u-u), and so on, fail to appear properly, with
the accent instead appearing separately from the letter.

If I pass THROUGH THE FINDER on the way from Mozilla to the other program, then
the problem does not occur. 

If the problem occurs, then it goes away again if I go back to Mozilla and pass
through the finder to get to the other program. I do not have to close an
application or even an open document in order for this to happen.

I'm sorry, but Mozilla is no longer supported on OS9.  Is this a problem on OSX?

Not a problem on OS X.
