User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070223 Camino/1.1b

I have Type Ahead Find enabled, but when I type characters with an accent like ë, ú, â (by pressing Alt + u + e) in the text-field of a Google Docs document or a new rich formatted Gmail message, the ë is typed but Type Ahead Find also searches for ë in the web page. This only happens with ¨, ^, ´ and `, not for any other characters involving the Alt button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new document in Google Docs or make a new rich text message in Gmail
2. Type Alt + u + e
Actual Results:  
Type Ahead Find starts looking for ë in the webpage.

Expected Results:  
Insert ë, do noting else.

I have turned Type Ahead Find on by using the CamiTools plugin.

Mac OS X 10.3.9, Dutch keyboard layout.

This is a dupe, but I can't find it now.
