As far as the crash problems, this sounds like something strange

I think this is in fact a Rev bug. I received an email the other
day from someone using a free trial of one of our programs about a
crash. He was in Finland and had the following keyboard setup:
- System preferences / International / Language / English
- System preferences / International / Input Menu (= keyboard
layout) / Finnish Extended
He said that typing work fine until he entered the first
scandinavic letter (ex. a-umlaut). He said all text after that will
become strange and also the keyboard layout (in the menubar) tries
to change to british. If he continues to type in the program it
crashes.
I have seen similar behavior when using Russian input but I haven't
tracked down what the problem is yet.
To follow up on this - I tracked down what was causing the problem in
our software. I have a text entry field that resizes the height
while you type in order to fit the contents of the field. I was
capturing the keyDown message in a frontscript, inserting the
character manually and then checking to see if the field needed to be
resized.
It turns out that this makes Rev fields sad and led to odd characters
being inserted into the field. I'm not sure why though. In any
case, I now process the rawKeyUp message and let the engine insert
the characters in the field and everything seems to be working
(though my resize behavior doesn't behave exactly how I would like it
to).
What would be nice is a
rawKeyDownAndCharacterHasBeenInsertedIntoFieldButIsntVisibleToTheUserYet
message that was called after the character was inserted into the
field but before it was displayed to the user. It seems that a
message like this would make auto resizing fields cleaner. Or am I
missing an existing feature that facilitates this?
