Bug
Windows: Input of Polish capital diacritic characters not working
Issue description
It seems there is a bug which prevents input of Polish capital
diacritic characters on windows platform. Interestingly it is possible
to input them in search forms but not in forms of a new topic. They
are input by pressing ALT+SHIFT combination and it seems it is
blocked in Topincs on windows (I checked chrome, firefox and Safari on
windows). BTW all is fine on Linux.
Developer comments
Windows 7 Professional, Google Chrome 24.0.1312.57 m, Firefox 9.0.1, Safari 5.1.7
The following combinations do not work as they should
(corresponding character in parenthesis):
RightAlt+SHIFT+A (Ą)
RightAlt+SHIFT+C (Ć)
RightAlt+SHIFT+E (Ę)
RightAlt+SHIFT+L (Ł)
RightAlt+SHIFT+N (Ń)
RightAlt+SHIFT+O (Ó)
RightAlt+SHIFT+S (Ś)
RightAlt+SHIFT+X (Ź)
RightAlt+SHIFT+Z (Ż)
I was able to reproduce the problem. It is probably related to the keyboard shortcut lib.
Confirmed: on deactivating keyboard shortcuts, everything works fine. Deactivating the keyboard shortcuts means, no Alt-Shift-Enter to submit, so that is not really a good option.
If the keyboard event is not cancelled, input of the characters works fine. But therefore other side effects appear as well (e.g. Firefox menu opens on Alt-Shift-A). Now its is necessary to find the conditions under which the event should be cancelled.
This was caused by the combination of two errors. 1) In the Topincs code there was a keybinding to Alt+Shift+Ctrl which did something in the past, but does nothing anymore. 2) Under Windows, all browsers set the %ctrlKey% flag on the keyboard event to true, although the ctrl key was not pressed but the right alt key. Removing the unused keybinding resolved the problem.
