Using WinXP SP2, "English (United States)" keyboard with "United

accents (^ ' ` " and ~).
With this layout, here is the expected behaviour:
"'" followed by "e" will give é
"'" followed by space will give '
"'" followed by "'" will give ''
All these examples work here, the problem seems that you use the wrong
character, use the " ´ " and not the " ' " key. I don't have an English
keyboard, on my German the " ´ " and " ` " character are on the same
keyboard button.
There is no such character on an American keyboard. The US-international
layout I use on WinXP allows to produce nearly all the accentuated
letters. It works on every software (PSPad, thunderbird, firefox, Word,
OOo, outlook, Notepad, ...). The way to obtain the "acute" accentuated
letters is by using the single quote (straight).
I tested with a German keyboard and I have a very similar problem. In
the German keyboard and a German layout, you have a key with " ´ " and "
` " as you said. The first time I used it to make a é (that is " ´ "
followed by " e "), it returned a " è " and subsequent tries correctly
produced " é ". I could also reproduce the crash (see below).
The Microsoft Layout program says that there is no error with my layout
(I loaded it and validated it). As I said, the only program failing is
LyX. As you can see in my emails, I can produce all the accents I want.
It seems that LyX interprets the first use of one of those keys as if
SHIFT was on when not pressed and off when pressed (LyX inverses the
character).
> Another bug I noticed is a crash (SIGSEV):
1- start LyX, create a new file
2- "ctrl+shift+m" to enter a display formula
3- type "a" followed by "^" then "2" (without the quotes) to produce a
power 2
it crashes
Couldn't reproduce with latest SVN build. But anyway, when you found a
bug please report it here:
bugzilla.lyx.org.
(please check that it isn't already reported)
I'll do this. I have four layouts installed on the computer which I can
choose by the language bar. German and english-US (US-international) do
result in this crash, but english-UK and english-US (US) dos not.
However, those 2 cannot make any accentuated letters.
Best regards,
