Re: [ jEdit-users ] Dead keys on MacOS X 10.3

[Malcolm R. <Mal...@an...>]

Hello,

This isn't (just) a pre-Panther problem. I have 10.3.2, Java 1.4.2, and=20=

an Australian keyboard (no keys dedicated to accented characters) and=20
keyboard layout, and I can produce no accented characters in the text=20
buffer. I can, however, see accented characters that have been inserted=20=

into the file with a text editor other than jEdit.

It is only characters produced with the option key as a modifier key=20
that produce this behaviour. Everything else is fine, including, for=20
example, Unicode IPA produced with an appropriate keyboard layout.

So where does this leave us?
