Hello all i added the following in jira as a bug (#FP-3824). If any of you have some time, can you test/reproduce and reply here? Or even vote for the bug?
Steps to reproduce: 1. Compile and run the following (flex code 3.2) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:TextInput x="224" y="191"/> </mx:Application> 2. View the application in Chrome (in windows), or any browser on a Mac 3. type something in the input box in your pre-selected language and then try switching to a second language, continue typing... Actual Results: Text remains in the main language, or is broken (usually the first) Expected Results: Users should be able to switch to their second language and type as normal Workaround (if any): No work around, but i think that the problem is that flash player in combination with some browsers (mentioned above) 'eats' the ALT-SHIFT / change language event - i might be wrong...
