@ still has the problem, that you get an extra character input (framed box). That only happens for the first @ in a series of entries. Once you press an ascii char and then press @ again, the problem is back.

Based on what I know it should be very hard to fix that, since detection of ALT-GR key doesn't work in Flash on Linux. But I'll try to get a fix for that tomorrow.

Thanks,
Raju

yes German Umlaut do work, the @ sign was not explicitly tested but it should.

Give it a try:

Sebastian, that's great! Does the "@" sign work as well? I know that the problem for German Umlaute can be fixed?

Thanks,
Raju

That's great, thanks! I wonder if we should have a browser quirk detector that applies this
patch in the SWF LFC's if it detects the user is operating in Linux?

It looks like Adobe has been made aware of the urgency of fixing this in the player so hopefully this will get fixed in the next Flash player release, at least.

There is this old wired bug in Flash Player
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-40

that keeps many Linux Users away from using Flash cause they cannot type their national characters.

I found a workaround and applied it to a edittext.
http://openmeetings.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/openmeetings_lps411/base/components/text/test-customEdittext.lzx

Linux users reported that their input does now work as it should do.

The patch is actually taken from:
