Hi,
I have found a serious bug in OpenOffice.org (1.9.110)/NeoOffice/J (1.1final) under MacOS X Tiger (10.4.1). I cannot type capital letters with carone or acute.
This problem is only in Tiger.
Can you confirm this? Is it problem in OO.o/Neo or in Tiger?
IIRC, ericb noted problems with typing accents and other characters with OOo 1.9.xxx and 10.4.
I don't have any problems typing capitals with acutes or carons in Neo/J on 10.3.9, so I don't think it's a Neo/J problem. The accents are sometimes "cut off" initially on capital letters--in Neo and OOo--so hit a return or change font size up and down to force a redraw just to be sure....

* When I use the Caps Lock key, any accents I type (acute, grave, tilde, umlaut, etc.) will appear "alone", before, not above the letter.
* When not using Caps Lock, I type the accent (like option+e) and then I type the letter with the Shift key pressed. It works OK.
So, I think this is a Mac OS X bug. I don't recall when I started to have this kind of problem, but I got sooo used to not using the Caps Lock key that I forgot to report the bug to Apple.
I use Mac OS X 10.3.9 on a Powerbook G4 400MHz. And I'm thinking about trying NeoOffice/J...

Er, that is an annoying bug. It happens in Stickies, too, so it's definitely a Mac OS X one. I'm surprised Apple didn't hear all the non-American Mac users screaming bloody murder about this.... I'm pretty sure that used to work under OS 9....

Welcome!
Also, fipa, can you be more detailed about what doesn't work right when typing your acutes and carons?

I don't have this problem on 10.3.9, it is only problem in Tiger, so I think that it is a problem of Tiger, but I am looking for a solution .
The key which represents carone/acute doesn't work at all, nothing happens when I type it...
We had some troubles in Apple's X11 in Panther too, but we have our special keyboard layots and with them, it works, in Tiger, there seems to be something new around this .
In other applications, there is no problem, only in OO.o (X11) and NeoOffice/J .
We are working on this - Eric Bachard has some ideas how to fix it in OO.o and my friend Adam Nohejl is trying to prepare another keyboard layot, which could fix this problem...
