It is the same with some other characters, for example using US keyboard layout you can type Option-n folowed by n and get ñ without activating Spanish keyboard to get this Spanish character.

Re: Circumflex strangeness with v15 on OS X 10.10.5
Hi Miyako, The users are based in Europe and have keyboards which make entering these accented characters quite easy. There is one key for the “^” and the system waits for a vowel over which it will be placed. With this bug, the user winds up with the “^” on the vowel as well as stand-alone. I have progressed somewhat. We use entry filters to avoid users cutting and pasting garbage such as control characters from outside sources. If we remove the entry filter it works normally. We haven’t been able to construct a filter which does what we want. We can’t use an empty filter either, so we have a database with thousands of fields using the filter that causes the problem :-( Paul > Le 12 mai 2017 à 02:20, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> a > écrit : > > how is the user typing the circumflex character? > assuming the U.S. keyboard layout is used, > option+I would enter a combining circumflex with yellow background. > following it with another letter would yield the accented character. > but other keyboard layouts (U.S. extended, or FR, for example) have other > conventions. > > there is also the feature that allows the user to long-press a key to enter > accented characters. > > last but not least, it the problem restricted to 4D or any application? > >> 2017/05/11 22:54、Paul Lovejoy via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール： >> >> We have noticed an annoying issue with the circumflex character (^) on OS X >> 10.10.5. >> >> If a user wants to write the word capôter, the circumflex “^" is typed >> before typing the “o".

Re: Circumflex strangeness with v15 on OS X 10.10.5
how is the user typing the circumflex character? assuming the U.S. keyboard layout is used, option+I would enter a combining circumflex with yellow background. following it with another letter would yield the accented character. but other keyboard layouts (U.S. extended, or FR, for example) have other conventions. there is also the feature that allows the user to long-press a key to enter accented characters. last but not least, it the problem restricted to 4D or any application? > 2017/05/11 22:54、Paul Lovejoy via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール： > > We have noticed an annoying issue with the circumflex character (^) on OS X > 10.10.5. > > If a user wants to write the word capôter, the circumflex “^" is typed before > typing the “o".

Circumflex strangeness with v15 on OS X 10.10.5
Hi everyone, We have noticed an annoying issue with the circumflex character (^) on OS X 10.10.5. If a user wants to write the word capôter, the circumflex “^" is typed before typing the “o". The system then placed the circumflex on top of the o to produce “ô". What we are seeing is cap^ôter instead of capôter because somehow the user gets two circumflexes even though only one was typed (wish ATMs worked that way). Has anyone else seen this? Perhaps there’s a compatibility setting I’m missing somewhere? It seems to work fine on OSX 10.12x Cheers, Paul ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
