User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I had no problem dictating my e-mails etc. with Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Std French in Firefox 1.0. Since I have installed Firefox 1.5 yesterday, the characters coming to the screen stop on the letter supposed to bear a circumflex accent, and the rest of the word and sentence do not get typed in.  E.g. if I dictate the French sentence : "c'est la même page", only "c'est la m" will get typed. Other (acute and grave) accents get typed with no problem. This bug only affects dictated words. Hand (finger) typing circumflex accents works normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dictate a word that contains a circumflex accent
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
typing stops on that letter; the rest does not get typed.

Expected Results:  
it should have continued typing letters and words beyond that circumflex accent bearing letter
