In the compose window type in couple of esc chars 5. Click on Send 6. Read this msg in 4.6 Expected result: An empty message Actual result: The square like chars maybe ascii [ followed by group seperator ] Build:09201999 Platform: Windows NT Note: When the same message is viewed in 5.0 these are not seen.

assigned to tague. This is because of an incorrect keyPress event being generated by nsWindow::OnChar. The char code for this event should be 0.

i'm not able to fix this bug right now. the editor event handlers still rely on the virtual key code to process certain keys like delete, backspace, which normally don't generate characters. since buster@netscape.com suggested that we do a branch and fix all of the keyboard handling issues, that seems like the appropriate time. fixing this is going to require tracking changes on all three platforms and should get a reasonable amount of testing.

reassign to ftang per i18ngrp reassignment meeting.
