Description Hugo Corbucci CLA 2011-05-17 19:03:40 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

StyledText doesn't follow common behavior regarding pending accents on OS X. Whenever there is a pending composition followed by a non-accentuable key, that key is ignored to confirm the accent. Regular behavior is to confirm the accent and then add the key.
We tried to track down the issue and realized the problem is probably outside of the Java code. It looks like interpretKeyEvents on NSResponder might not be called with the proper arguments (maybe on the first keystroke or the second, couldn't identify which) by keyDown method on Composite.

Easy to reproduce with US-International but happens with any keyboard configuration while typing accents.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Set your keyboard to US-International
1. Create a StyledText
2. Type "'"
3. Type "s"
4. Text should be "'s" but is "'"

StyledText's behavior of the bug

KeyCstr shows what is being typed. At the end, text should be "Let's" but it's only "Let'".

TextEdit's behavior of the bug

This is how TextEdit works. Text is "Let's" at the end.

Indeed. Works fine on 3.7M7.
Sorry about that.
