For example. Take a cocoa app (I just tried with Camino).
After adding "Thai" in the international system preferences, i select Thai from the input menu. I go to the "Google" NSSearchField of camino and type "oh" which appear in Thai. Then press "h" a few times.
If I am not mistaken, the key labeled "O" will produce THAI CHARACTER NO NU, and "H" will create THAI CHARACTER MAI THO. The latter is a Nonspacing_Mark, so it comes a no surprise if several MAI THOs will print on top of each other.

But rest assured: there is no word in Thai which has several MAI THOs following each other.

The letter represented by "h" appears at the same spot in the search field, at first it looks like it didnt take the input but in fact it print the letters on top of each other, you can even see the character getting darker in the search field.

You should get the same behaviour when you enter cafe + several COMBINING ACUTE ACCENTs. But in this case you get a series of ACUTE ACCENTs stacked on top of each other.


This is a very cool bug indeed
What is the bug? That the several MAI THOs occupy the same space and are not stacked on top of each other like a series of ACUTE ACCENTs?

I would not call this a bug: as I said, this never happens with real Thai words. Same as in French there are no words having more than one ACUTE ACCENT.

But if you explain what you would like to happen, then maybe someone has an idea how to acconplish this.


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
