Re: keyboard input broken for certain extended characters

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

on suggestion of Fred, I tried to debug things a little more.

First, I can put in a £ sign using the character mapping of the font
panel and it works.
Second, if the character is in the file, it gets displayed correctly
Third, if I export display and type in from elsewhere, it works

Unicode for pound sing would be U+00A3
Unicode for A circumflex is U+00C2
Unicode for A tilde is U+00C3

x82 is "no break here"

I don't fully understand why we add c2 when having the "working" pound
sign, but in the other case, we add a full c282 when typing.

The pound sign is written c2a3 The extra sign seen is in hex c382

On my keyboard to type the pound sign I need to type Shift-3.

I'm unable to read that. The KeyCode is not always preset and 0x32 is 2.
However, I should see the keys for "shift" and "3"
