Category: editor core Group: severe bug Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin Petricek (bilboq) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Unable to input accented characters Initial Comment: I am using jEdit 4.3pre2 on Gentoo Linux (JVM 1.4.2_09-b05) When I switched the keyboard to czech layout (setxkbmap cz_qwerty) and started to edit UTF-8 encoded file with czech accented characters, the characters that were already in the file are displayed correctly, but when I press the keys to type another text with accented characters (some of them are for example on keys that are 1-9 on english keyboard), some of them do not work and some of them just produced a square (i.e. some unknown character) when the key was pressed, but none of them produced the expected character. Switching character encoding of current buffer to iso-8859-2 was of no help. II tried unloading all plugins but the bug persisted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Adolphs (futzilogik) Date: 2006-04-25 06:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1385756 There has been a bug in Sun Java on Linux for years now that certain characters which have to be composed with a "dead" key (like ~ ` ' ^) and a normal key are not produced (probably depending on the keymap chosen). The effect is that sometimes such composed characters can't be produced or that the dead key pressed twice or followed by space doesn't produce the sign itself. It has been reported zillion times but Sun has ignored it so far ("not reproducable"). Maybe it's fixed in the upcoming Java 6... http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4799499 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4797332 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4707542 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4799500 ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SourceForge Robot (sf-robot) Date: 2006-04-25 02:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1312539 This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system.

This is what I typed (1-9, then ; and ' on a regular US keyboard): +ÄÅ¡ÄÅžýáÃé§ů Shift+[1-9] seems to be a problem on Java apps though (the numbers don't show up; show up fine on a KDE app), but that doesn't seem to be a jEdit problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100588&aid=1343969&group_id=588 |
