Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure you are using a keyboard layout with dead keys. For example, in my keyboard layout AltGr+' activates a dead key for the acute accent, so to type "á" I would type AltGr+' and then a. 2. In SeaMonkey, use find as you type to search for some text string which includes a character composed using a dead key. For example, in my keyboard layout, type the following: Shift+p AltGr+' a l l Actual Results: 3. Find as you type tries to find "Pall" Expected Results: 3. Find as you type should have tried to find "Páll" Note that this is different from Bug 510007, which prevents Find as you type from being activated using a particular keyboard shortcut in Firefox. In SeaMonkey there is no keyboard shortcut needed to activate Find as you type; it's automatically active.
Version: unspecified → SeaMonkey 2.0 Branch
This has been fixed on trunk (you can check SM 2.1b1) through the introduction of the findbar. "Preferences/Advanced/Keyboard Navigation" also includes a note about this issue, which is still present (but probably won't be solved) if you disable the new findbar. Marking WFM for the above reasons. BTW: This really seems to be a Linux issue, I could reproduce it on Kubuntu but not Win7, both using SM 2.0.

No longer reproducible for me. I'm using SeaMonkey 2.49.5 but haven't tested all versions going back to 2.46.
