Some upper case letters (diactrical characters) doesn't work when:
1. Caps lock is on
2. You are using keyboard layout different than US.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change your keyboard layout from US to other (PL QWERTY for example).
2. Turn on Caps Lock.
3. Open any form in Firefox or open a new message window in Thunderbird.
4. Try to type any text with diactrical characters (an example for PL QWERTY: "ZA¯Ó£Æ ¯Ó£T¡ GʦL").
Actual Results:
(For PL QWERTY keyboard layout):
ZA¿ó³æ ¿ó³T± Gê¶L
(¯ --> ALT+Z - with right ALT pressed, type 'Z',
O --> ALT+O - with right ALT pressed, type 'O'
etc...)
Expected Results:
(For PL QWERTY keyboard layout):
ZA¯Ó£Æ ¯Ó£T¡ GʦL
Tested on:
Firefox 1.5 pl, en-us,
Thunderbird 1.5 RC1 pl, en-us

DIACRITICAL (not diactrical) characters don't work, of course ;)

Confirmed.
(Windows XP Pro SP2, Firefox 1.5 pl)
I don't know if it's related, we are several french having problems with Firefox 1.5 and a special keyboard driver to write Ç È or Œ... in Firefox 1.5 (and only here) the characters are not in capitals, it gives: ç è or œ.

This is Windows-only (Win9x/2000/XP), it WFMs on Mac and Linux.
This regressed between 2005-05-20 and 2005-05-21 (the 20050520 build is the last one when the Caps Lock + R_Alt is working correctly, the 20050521 is the first one to fail).
I suppose bug 285161 has caused this regression. In a comment in attachment 180184 [details] [diff] [review] it says:
+ // When pressing (alt|ctrl)+char, the char must be lowercase
+ // (regardless of Caps Lock or shift state).
while this is obviously not true:
Caps Lock off, R_Alt+a should result with ± (a-ogonek)
Caps Lock on, R_Alt+a should result with ¡ (A-ogonek)
Caps Lock off, R_Alt+c should result with æ (c-acute)
Caps Lock on, R_Alt+c should result with Æ (C-acute)
etc.

The same problem with latest version of Firefox (2.0.0.2) - diacritical signs don't work properly with capslock.

movzx: This has been fixed on trunk (Firefox/Thunderbird 3), but won't be fixed in the 2.0.0.x line.
