We are always happy to fix our own bugs but in your case, *we simply cannot believe this is a bug in XXE*. Here is why: With a spanish keyboard, you type "'" (dead acute) and then "a" and you want to have an "?". With a French keyboard, when I type "^" (dead circumflex) and then "o", I want to have an "?". It is *exactly* the same problem. In XXE, in the case of the French keyboard and the "?" character: * It works on Windows. * It works on Linux. * It does not work on the Mac (even with Java 1.4.2 on MacOSX 10.3!) * It is the same code on all platforms. * XXE has no knowledge about the fact that dead "^" plus "o" gives "?". That this, there is no special logic for that which could be buggy (no special logic is needed because it is the job of the underlying graphics environment -- AWT -- to generate an "?" when "^" then "o" are typed.) > > Many other Java Apps work correctly with this equipment * Many Java apps still use Java 1.3 on Mac. (Both 1.4 and 1.3 Java runtimes are available on the Mac.) May be there is no problem with Java 1.3. * Some Java apps may contain Mac-specific bug workarounds.
