80135 - Can't enter characters that use Alt Gr as non-first characters into URL bar.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61439

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Mika Yrjölä]

From Bugzilla Helper:
(user-agent removed, because I submitted from NS 4.7)
BuildID:    2001050914

If I try to enter a character that needs the use of Alt Gr to enter into URL bar
as non-first character, the character that would appear without pressing Alt Gr
at the same time appears instead. It works as a first character, however. I
noticed the problem initially with tilde (~), but it seems to apply to all other
characters that need use of Alt GR. After you have submitted the URL with enter,
however, you can again use Alt Gr:ed characters. This is a major pain in the ass
if keyboard mappings needs the use of Alt Gr to use tilde; many personal
homepages include tilde before 'username'.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter URL bar
2.Type something, for example http://www.lut.fi/
3.Try to enter tilde character

Actual Results:  Character " appears.

Expected Results:  Character ~ should appear.

I'm using Finnish keyboard settings in Redhat 7.0 that has most packages updated
to RH7.1 equivalents.
