Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 100093
Accented characters don't appear in a Multilines TextBox with Formating
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:51:16 UTC
Hello There, I am using a Swiss French or a French keyboard on my iMac. I am designing a simple form in Writer. When I chose the "Multiline with formating" type of field, I am unable to enter any accented character (like éà è etc). The "Dead keys" don't work, so I cannot get to the ¨ ^ etc characters. When a "normal" character is on the Upcased-key or one such key, like !?, it does not appear too. This problem seems occuring only under OSX. Laurent Godard checked it on its Linux platform and it didn't appear. I checked it under Windows (Parallels) on the same Mac, it didn't appear. The behaviour is the same with NeoOffice. Configuration : OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 OOO300m15 Build 9379 iMac 24" 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram. Mac OSX V 10.5.6 All updates done Thank you all anyway, Thierry
Created attachment 60860 [details] Show the behavious of the three different kinds of "TextBox" on my system. You will need to try it on a Mac.

I can confirm this Bug with MAC OS X 10.5.7 (Intel), OpenOffice.org 3.1.0. After I write äöü in the Textfield and change in an other Application and back -> only a 0 is standing there (instead äöü).
wope and spa confirmed it on Windows and SUSE Linux too.
