Possible bug when entering characters using Alt+NumPad

[Andrey G. Sergeev (AKA Andris)]

Hello!


It seems to be impossible to enter characters using their ANSI codes via
Alt+NumPad in TB message editor when the NumPad acts as a cursor control
keys :-(.

For example, you can try to enter � char - it's code is 0149. You have
to hold down one of Alt keys while entering 0149 on the NumPad. If Num
Lock indicator is lit everything seems to be OK, but if your NumPad is
in cursor control mode, you'll probably have an "Add A File
(MIME/Base64)" window popping out after pressing [9] (or the last key in
the sequence).

As far as i understand it's TB (but not only TB) failure - just check
the technique described above in the Notepad, WordPad and Agent.
However, MS Word and Netscape Communicator failed also :-).

The correct behaviour is to ignore the NumPad status.
