Can anyone confirm this for me? I have discovered that when

others to confirm before I Bugzilla it.
Rev 2.6.1 and 2.7.dp4.
Mac OS X 10.4.6
PowerMac G4 and G5 DP.
Haven't tried it on Windows (got no Windows box at home to try.)
Recipe:
Create a new stack.
Create an editable text field.
Open the message watcher (you'll want to suppress all but
unhandled and handled messages.)
Make sure a latin alphabet is selected from the input menu (the
little flag menu.) I used the standard US keyboard.
Type some characters into the field. Observe that the message
watcher shows both keyDown, rawKeyDown and keyUp, rawKeyUp messages.
Choose a non-Latin input like Greek or Cyrillic (I've also tried
it with Chinese and even non-lower-ASCII latin characters.) No
keyDown or rawKeyDown messages are shown, but all of the keyUp
messages register.
Maybe I haven't chosen the right font, but I seem to be getting all
four messages. I chose a few fonts whose names were gibberish in
the OS X Font menu. I didn't try with too many keys; are there
certain keys I should try typing?
Jacque,
It's not the font choice that triggers the bug, but the input method.
You would need to activate the input menu from the International
system pref pane. Activate, eg., Cyrillic or Greek, then click in
your rev field and choose one of these languages from the flag menu.
Then watch the message watcher to see if the keydown messages
disappear. I'm getting this consistently on 2.6.1 through 2.7.x on
both a Powermac G4 and G5 running 10.4.6.
