Well, we can't really fix netscape. Only netscape can. Can you confirm that this problem exists only in 4.76, and not 4.75? No, the problem was there with Netscape 4.75 too. I don't know about 4.74, but
the 4.73 was fine, though.
I realize that this is a Netscape problem, so I'm posting this bug description
to their bug tracking system, too.
Regards,
Roman
This won't be fixed unless netscape fixes it upstream. |
Hello! I downloaded Netscape 4.76 RPM for RH 6.1, but when I try to enter some Slovenian text with ISO 8859-2 keyboard, the 8-bit characters are just not displayed. This happens both in browser forms windows and in NS Mail. I'm using the Croatian international keyboard in KDE 1.1.2 (text HR is displayed in the lower right corner of the panel). If I copy&paste the Latin 2 (8859-2) text from another window (or even the same window), it works. So just the keyboard input is being "eaten". This is very inconvenient, because the Slovenian texts cannot be fully entered any more. Netscape 4.73 didn't have those problems. I hope that you can fix this in the future release of Netscape 4.7x package (which, BTW, I prefer over ugly design of Netscape 6.0). Please contact me if you need more information to reproduce the problem. Wish you a good luck! Regards, Roman
