I see. Okay, so I activated the international menu and activated
Greek. Dragged a new field onto a test stack. Showed the message
watcher. Choose Greek from the system menu.
If I typed regular characters I got all four messages. If I typed,
say, Option-P (to get a pi) I got an optionkeydown message and then
two "up" messages (rawkeyup, keyup).
Then I switched back to the US menu input via the system menu, and
typed Option-P and still got an optionKeyDown and two "up"
messages. Typing normal characters gave me all four messages.
So maybe it's the option key that blocks the messages? Seems to be
the same no matter which menu input I choose. Maybe its an OS
thing. I know that Rev just grabs whatever keyboard messages the OS
sends, so it may be that the Mac OS isn't sending those.
Thanks for confirming and helping narrow this down. I'm going to BZ it.
