On April 7 build, when I switch keyboard layout to Thai Kedmanee. I can use Cmd+จ = Cmd+0 to normal page size. I can use Cmd+ส = Cmd+L to open location. I can use Cmd+ะ = Cmd+t to open new tab. Since April 8 build, I cannot do that. I've read bug 398514 and conclude that fixing that bug causes new bug to international keyboard layout.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch keyboard layout to Thai Kedmanee.
2. Try some Cmd key (like an example).
Actual Results:  
Functions are broken.

Expected Results:  
Functions should work like Cmd+English characters.

I start the bug 422972 and extend it to Cmd+other keys than `. With suggestion from Steven Michaud, I open this bug.

You see exactly the same problem with the Arabic keyboard.

Both the Thai and Arabic keyboards alter characters that you've already "typed" as their context changes (as you "type" more characters).  Neither uses IME.

Bug 428367 is probably a dupe of this one.

Actually, I've now found that cmd-c and cmd-v don't work in the Russian, Ukrainian or Greek keyboards.  But they do work in the US Extended keyboard (which is Unicode).

So the pattern seems to be that they don't work in keyboards (Unicode or otherwise) that output a non-Roman script and don't use IME.

Cmd-c and cmd-v also work in French and German keyboards.

Nakano-san, sorry for off-topic here,
but I can reproduce Cmd+` problem on Thai layout.

Please see Bug 407793 Comment 6.

And note the difference between Japanese environment and other.
Open [System Preferences] -> [Keyboard & Mouse] -> [Keyboard Shortcuts]
and see [Move focus to next window in active application].
# This is OS X 10.5. I don't know whether it's same on 10.4.
This shortcut is Cmd+F1 by default on Japanese environment,
but it's Cmd+` by default on the other many environment.
Thus Cmd+` shoud switch window, and this works for other applications.
