Editor rejects some special characters

[chrroe]

Scenario:

- Cirrus 449 Linux Edition
- openSuSE 10.3
- KDE 3.5.7

1. Open an empty Text Compare with Full Edit turned on (standard encoding seems to be Current Locale (UTF-8)).
2. Try to enter some special chars via keyboard.
3. Some of them are ignored by the editor

To be more precise here comes a listing, the red chars are missing:

[SIZE=4] ^[/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]°[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=4]!"[/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]§[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=4]$%&/()=?[/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]ß[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=4]`*'_:;>
|@[/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]€²³[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=4]{[]}\~
and all german umlauts: [/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]äöü ÄÖÜ[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Of cource I know that it is difficult to reproduce without a localized keyboard, but other apps like kate or konsole do accept them. However by pasting them via clipboard you can get them into the Cirrus editor.

Thanks for the report, I can reproduce this. KDE makes this easy enough, kcontrol->Regional & Accessibility->Keyboard Layout, let's you switch between different languages.

This will be fixed in the next release (463).
