Accented characters ("dead keys") can not be entered in Cocoa #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download CustomEditField 1.7.1
2. Open the demo project in RealBasic and generate a Cocoa Build
3. Write en accented character in the edit field, for example "á"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The "á" character should appear in the editfield. But nothing appears. Even 
worse, nothing more appears if the user presses other keys

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.1 on MacOS X Mountain Lion

Please provide any additional information below.
It correctly works in Carbon builds

Unfortunately, this is a "bug" in RS / Xojo. There is nothing I can do about it.

Xojo's position is that this can't be fixed for Cocoa. Their suggestion is to 
use a new plugin they've made to handle Cocoa text input, but it is nearly 
impossible to rewrite CEF to support this.

So, as painful and disappointing as this is, CEF on Cocoa is fairly unusable 
for non-ASCII input.
