From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010307
Netscape6/6.01
BuildID:    2001052710

The Sun compose key is used for typing some unusual characters using two other keys.

For example:
compose-1-2 should yield ½, but simply gives 12
compose-o-" should yield ö but gives o"
(these characters were entered by typing elsewhere, and cut-and-pasting into
this field)

This is also broken in Netscape 6.01A (gecko build 20010307) and Mozilla build
20010430. These are the only versions I have tried.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open composer or mail editor
2.type <compose><1><2>
3.If you see 12, it's broken. If you see ½ as a single character, it works.


Actual Results:  I saw 12 (broken)

Expected Results:  I should see ½ as a single character

This works with Communicator 4.76

Workaround is to type composed characters in another window and paste them into
composer.
Ann--could you help us with this bug?  (If not, could you recommend someone else 
who could help us?)  Thanks!

sent Ann a side note, she said she would look at this next week.

I am assigning this to her for now, Ann you can reassign this back to me if you 
are unable to resolve this -- thanks

I can confirm this bug under build 2001062522, though I don't have perms

The compose key works only when replying to a message unless I use copy/paste
functions.

Looks like bug #110344 has a solution for this one 
(patching Solaris).

Agreed. Applying Solaris patch 108773-14 and restarting Mozilla seems to have
cured the problem.

Thanks.

Applying Solaris patch 108773-14 should be added to the release notes. How do we
make that happen?
Added comment to bug 133795
SCott/Ann, please verify and mark verified fixed....thanks..
second request, can someone at Sun (Ann or Scott) please verify this
bug...thanks!
Hey - I'm not at Sun, and I'm the one who marked it fixed. Is it legitimate for
me to also mark it verified?

Well, you are the reporter, you could do that. But it is not "wise" that the
same person marks the bug both "resolved fixed" and "verified fixed".

Please let someone else do that, please... Ann ? :)
That's why I ignored the first request - I presumed it was talking to a
different "Scott".
