Can QA elaborate on what characters can not be typed in. As mentioned in my
previous message, I could type in as well as successfully visit a page that has
~ in it.

I'm still unable to type this ~ character into the location bar. At the
moment I'm using the Milestone 9 build - sorry, I downloaded a M10 build
but it failed to start :)

I'm not having any problems typing the tilde (~) using the US-International
keyboard layout, Windows NT 4 SP 5, and the September 20, 1999 commercial
non-debug build of apprunner.
beans, I will mark this bug as worksforme in 24 hours if I do not hear back from
you. I need to know:
- what language version of Windows 98 you are using
- which keyboard layout and language you are using (eg Swiss German keyboard
layout)
- if this works in later builds for you, eg a nightly build
Thanks!
>what language version of Windows 98 you are using
I'm using the version 4.10.1998 (no service pack or update)
- which keyboard layout and language you are using
Language: German (Switzerland)
Layout: German (Switzerland)
- if this works in later builds for you, eg a nightly build
I've just downloaded the 1999092112 build and it doesn't work
I can type that tilde if I insert it "manually" (means 'alt' + code).
There are some other special characters that don't work like ^`´\{}[]¦@

Tja, das ist ja etwas peinlich... radha, dead keys on the Swiss German layout
are NOT working. For example, what's on a US keyboard the +/= key is a
circumflex/` modifier (dead) key. Because it doesn't work with apprunner,
characters such as ô and è cannot be typed. The same goes for the ]/} key - when
Shift is NOT pressed it works as a dead key, and does NOT work in apprunner. And
the AltGR key never works, which means you can't type characters such as '@',
making mail pretty well unusable.
This would seem to be related to other bugs concerning dead keys on other
keyboard layouts.

Is this a duplicate of bug 6053? Both have to do with dead keys on Win32
keyboard layouts...
