5928 - Keyboard entries: Alt -0128, -0134, -0153, -0159 not displayed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 4819

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[bobj]

In both the mail compose and the editor window I tried to enter:
   Alt-0128 (Euro), Alt-0134 (dagger), Alt-0153 (TM), Alt-0159 (Y-diaresis)

No characters are displayed.  However when I send the composed email, the
characters are actually sent and can be displayed correctly by Messenger.
I suspect this is the case for all 32 values: Alt-0128 through Alt-0159
which correspond to MS-Latin1 values 0xA0 - 0xAF.

I tried Alt-0161 (upside-down !), Alt-0162 (cent), Alt-0163 (sterling pound),
Alt-0169 (copyright), Alt-0191 (upside-down ?).  These work.

Oh, I should have said in previous comment:

See Bug 5930 for another problem related to handling 0x80 - 0x9F
range characters for Mail Subject field for Latin 1 mail.

The reason Ender doesn't display the characters is that it is never seeing them
in the first place. In the widget code characters are being translated to ASCII.

I don't think this is the problem.  Some non-ASCII are displayed.
Only the MS-Latin1 0xA0-0xAF (at least some -- I did not verify for all)
are not being displayed.  Characters greater than 0xAF (at least some,
as I noted in my first comment -- I did not verify for all) are being
displayed.
