Problem entering accented NL (Spanish or Brazilian Portugese) characters into either the export to a zip or a jar file or into the search or Java search entry fields. National characters to be tested: Spanish Cannot type NL characters on the export destination field: For accents ´ : press the key between Ñ and Ç and then the corresponding letter For umlaut ¨ : press Shift and same procedure as above áÁ - éÉ - íÍ - óÓ - úÚ - üÜ
Created attachment 165 [details] Picture of the export entry field that does not take accented characters
What OS version are you using? The field isn't filled in above. There was a NT (only) defect that should have been fixed by the SWT team in the 1.1 patch that would cause this problem. Question: Is the problem just in these entry fields? Does it also occur in the file system export wizard's destination field? How about a default text editor (e.g. create a .txt file in Eclipse)? The export wizards and search dialog use a combobox for these fields, which might be a common factor. They are not setting the font explicitly, so they should just get the system font. You could also try: Enter the accented character in Notepad. Copy the character Switch to Eclipse and create a text file. Paste the character => If the character does NOT show up then we're using a bad font. => If the character does show up the SWT team should investigate. Should also try pasting into the export wizard destination fields and the search fields.
This is a known problem - see bug 6239 in the dependency list
