Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Andriei Ramos Duarte]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.1

When (in a linux SuSE system i've tested) you have an US keyboard and set this
up with acents and system encoding is UTF-8, all system displays wrong cedil
character (ć) when cute(') then c is pressed. When the encoding (LANG system
variable) was changed, all applications works fine displaying a correct cedil
(ç) but Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox still having problems. I have choose to
put this bug at Thunderbird section because I don't now where must I place it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug an US Keyboard on a Linux platform (only SuSE 9.2 and 9.3 was tested)
and configure kbd with "us-acentos.map.gz"
2. With system variable LANG set with "en_US.UTF-8"  when you press cute (')
then c will appear ć
3. Set system variable with "en_US.ISO8859-1", then cedil will appear correctlly
: ç but mozilla applications (Thunderbird and Firefox) not.

What did you do? What did you not understand? It is in a kind of queue?

and its working now. Thanks
