TextBox problem

09-16-2008 4:57 AM |

I've found an issue with the TextBox control.

Some keys on the keyboard works in a special way. For example to type the letter ä on a keyboard that doesn't have that letter, you would first press the key with ¨ (two dots) and then the a. When you strike the first key nothing seems to happen, but when you type the a you get this special letter. The same goes for writing á ü and so on. I'm sure you all know how to do this.

Anyway, this does not seem to work perfectly in the TextBox. If I press the key with two dots ( ¨ ) it should be waiting for me to press another key before showing anything. Instead, it shows two of this character ( ¨¨ ). In normal cases, this should happen only if you press this key twice. This also makes it impossible to write these special characters in this way.

I'm using a swedish keyboard and Silverlight 2 Beta 2.

Maybe someone can confirm whether this problem also occurs on US keyboards.
