Steps to reproduce:

I cant't write tildes, with Opera browser I can write it and with other applications too but with firefox I can't do it


Actual results:

Nothing


Expected results:

Write tildes
I am using KDE desktop
Can you please provide more detailed steps to reproduce? Does this happen with Firefox 18.0a1 from nightly.mozilla.org? Do you have any add-ons or plug-ins installed? I cannot reproduce this locally. Everywhere I type the tilde works.
Component: Untriaged → General
I am using Mozilla 15.0.1 Mozilla for LinuxMint, the only plugins are flash and chatzilla. I am using LinuxMint 13 KDE
Can you please try the build directly from nightly.mozilla.org and not Mint's packaged version?
I installed the firefox from nightly.mozilla.org and I updated all my system and the problem continue.
What keyboard layout (language) is your keyboard?
Do you use Shift, Alt, AltGr, Compose or any such keys to type a tilde?
Do you know if it used to work in an earlier version of Firefox?

Summary: no puedo tipear tildes → Can not type tilde (~)
And where do you reproduce that, i.e., in all text editors? or only in some website? If it's latter, let us know the URL.
I type the tilde key first and the letter next, I use the gmail editor and the wikipedia editor

Are you talking about using ~ as a diacritical mark?
For example in ã ñ etc.
It looks like hitting the '~' key won't generate a proper key event. When I hit the '~' key twice, Firefox 16 for Linux generated the following events, which seems broken. The same thing happens with '^' and '`'.

  keyup    keyCode=0         which=0         charCode=0        

  keydown  keyCode=0         which=0         charCode=0        
  keyup    keyCode=0         which=0         charCode=0


Firefox for windows works fine. When I hit the '~' key twice, the following events were generated.

  keydown  keyCode=160       which=160       charCode=0 
  keyup    keyCode=160       which=160       charCode=0

  keydown  keyCode=160       which=160       charCode=0
  keypress keyCode=0         which=94 (^)    charCode=94 (^)
  keypress keyCode=0         which=94 (^)    charCode=94 (^)
  keyup    keyCode=160       which=160       charCode=0
This happened when I use a German keyboard.

Thanks.
