** Observed with 10/7/99 Mac M10 build ** Perhaps this was already resolved in M11 branch, but on the build above, option key + p (pi), opt + t (cross), Shift + opt + p (uppercase pi), Shift + opt + < (equal or less than), opt + - (&shy) combinations do not input any characters in the HTML editor. These "opt" key combinations seem to be generally disabled for input. This bug is blocking Bug 4442 also.
Summary: [PP] Mac "option + p" and other key combo disabled. → [PP] Mac "option + p" and other "otion" key combos disabled.

Another way of viewing this: Build ID: 1999101114 Platform: Mac OS 8.5 (see bug 13016 and other for Win32 issues) To reproduce: - Launch apprunner - Click into the Location: control - Type Option+S Result: Nothing happens. Expected result: 'ß' should appear. All characters generated using the Option key as a modifier do not work. This is a serious usability issue. For example, you would press Option+\ (using the Swedish keyboard layout with a US keyboard) to generate the '@' character - until this is fixed, you can't use 5.0 to send mail. Upgrading severity, marking dogfood, performing arcane voudou ritual in hopes of getting this one Fixed.
1999-10-14-11, Milestone 11. It's working for me now.
