Also, it is funny to note that Bugzilla does not renders the accented properly (under Mozilla 1.6), replacing them by (?). The expected character is ê What locale do you use? Do you know what setting your LANG environment variable is? > echo $LANG C from /ets/sysconfig/i18n LANG="C" COUNTRY="us" LANGUAGE="us" CHARSET="iso8859-1" My keyboard layout is "French", as of Gnome Keyboard config tool. BTW, I am using Berry Linux 0.37 (http://yui.mine.nu/linux/eberry.html), a Japanese distro based on Fedora Core 2 test 1. I don't really think this is the root of the problem, as all other apps behave well and that I freshly installed OpenOffice from the Fedora yum repos. I know... this is a strange configuration... You should never be running with LANG = "C". This is completely unsupported and will not work. You must change your LANG to match your actual locale, then try this issue again. If that is still broken with LANG="en_US", then this bug is valid. I set the LANG to fr_FR, and everything works fine now ! Maybe OpenOffice should issue a warning on incorrect (unsupported) locales, as other apps seem to work fine with it... Thanks for your help :) Unfortunately, OOo is a bit special in this regard :( It interfaces directly with X11's input routines, while most other apps go through GTK or KDE. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: I use a French keyboard (generit PC-105 intl) and when I type ^ once, nothing appears, when I type ^+^, nothing appears either. In fact, nothing appears in the Writer for the following keystrokes : - " + " (I would expect " as " is a dead key) - " + <space> (same) - " + {a,e,i,o,u} (I would expect �, �, �, �, �) - ^ + ^ (I would expect ^) - ^ + <space) (same) - ^ + {a,e,i,o,u} (I would expect �, �, �, �, �) I do not experience this problem with other applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-29 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start OpenOffice writer 2. Try to type any of the aforementioned keystroke (say ^+e) Actual Results: No character is output, it seems like the keystroke was "absorbed" by OpenOffice. In fact, one could think that the ^ is simply ignored, but it isn't as ^+e is also absorbed. Expected Results: The � character should be appended to the text Additional info:
