Non-working dead keys in Firefox #2539

Closed XoR-42 closed 4 years ago

XoR-42 commented 9 years ago

The use of dead keys to type accents does not seem to work in Firefox. For example typing 'ê' on a french keyboard, or any accent with the layout 'international with dead keys' leads to a character without accent.

It works properly in Chromium though.

Tested on the 'develop' branch locally, on pad.riseup.net and on pad.lqdn.fr. Browsers: Firefox Nightly 39 and Firefox 36 on Linux.

I do not think that this problem is still present in recent Etherpad.

3413 (landed in 1.7.0, 2018-08-17) merged a change that unified key event handling with Chrome.

Seeing it again with firefox 79.0 on linux ubuntu 20.04. In many text boxes (e.g. facebook) compose+`+vowel fails to produce the accented vowel.
