After the update to AIR 2.0.2 I cannot input into any application greek with accented characters.

Tried TweetDeck and Twhirl and neither work (used to before the update)

Is this a bug or it needs some configuration

I am working on Fedora13 but heard the same problem reported on Ubuntu.

Have not tried on MS Windows or MacOSX

Any news on this bug?

This affects too the Spanish-writing apps, and writing without accents and ñ is unacceptable.

Hi,

I'm using Adobe AIR 2.0.3 on Windows machine. I wrote an app in Aptana Studio (build: 2.0.5.1278522500) with ExtJS library and I found the problem with polish national characters like ż and Ż (all the other national characters like ą, ę, ń are possible to input).

In order to reproduce, here you have the sample code in ExtJS:

http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/dev/examples/form/anchoring.html

As you will see - it is possible to input ż and Ż in text fields.

Now, use the same code to build AIR applicaton and then run the application. It is not possible to input those characters in Air window. Right Alt+z acts like undo operation - it removes last entered text. All the other characters work fine.

Here is the code I used:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>New Adobe AIR Project</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/ext/resources/css/ext-all.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/ext/air/resources/ext-air.css" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/air/AIRAliases.js"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/adapter/ext/ext-base.js"></script>
           <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/ext-all.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/air/ext-air.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        Ext.onReady(function(){
    var form = new Ext.form.FormPanel({
        baseCls: 'x-plain',
        labelWidth: 55,
        defaultType: 'textfield',

        items: [{
            fieldLabel: 'Send To',
            name: 'to',
            anchor:'100%'  // anchor width by percentage
        },{
            fieldLabel: 'Subject',
            name: 'subject',
            anchor: '100%'  // anchor width by percentage
        }, {
            xtype: 'textarea',
            hideLabel: true,
            name: 'msg',
            anchor: '100% -53'  // anchor width by percentage and height by raw adjustment
        }]
    });

    var window = new Ext.Window({
        title: 'Resize Me',
        width: 500,
        height:300,
        minWidth: 300,
        minHeight: 200,
        layout: 'fit',
        plain:true,
        bodyStyle:'padding:5px;',
        buttonAlign:'center',
        items: form,

        buttons: [{
            text: 'Send'
        },{
            text: 'Cancel'
        }]
    });

    window.show();
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

Is it possible to input those characters or is there a workaround for this (disable undo operation or so) ?

I really appreciate any help.

Kind regards,

Marcin.


I've already let Marcin know the status of this issue, but others following along, we've verified this bug and added an internal report (#2699774) in our bug database.
