No AltGr Speacial chars in webkit
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
I have a problem with webkit (qt 4.5.0 windows) on german keybords. there are some chars only reachable with AltGr (CrtlGr) like @ (at), â (euro) and ~(tilde) which are dead in any html form inputs. you can reproduce it with demo-browser from the examples.
this is very bad, because you canât input any email-adresses ! any help (very urgent)?

I can't really help since I'm on Linux. Just a few remarks:
* It works for me under Linux, so it may be related to the Windows portability
layer in Qt or to some peculiarity of your Windows system.
* Is this specific to Webkit? Are you able to type the same chars on Qt
example that don't use Webkit? Try for example:
examples\mainwindows\application\application.exe

Even the url-input field in the demo browser works fine. it "just" affects the html input fields.
but on all machines available. on WinXP as on Vista. it seems to be a problem with the
dead key "AltGr" because copy and past or filling by javascript works fine with this chars.
