Re: [Bug 9325] When pressing DELETE key character ,(comma) is displayed.

[Martin Vanek]

I checked it in Fedora 7, Mandriva2007, Suse10.2. No matter what type of keyboard is used (PC104,PC105,qwerty,qwerty-bksl) it's always the same.

I have sent a patch to workaround this bug yesterday (edit.c, WM_CHAR notification). VK_DELETE has the same code as comma character 0x2E, but the difference is in lParam - bit 24 specifies whether the key is an extended key. It's not perfect but it works. Better solution of course is to find a basic bug - why is the VK_DELETE sent with WM_CHAR notification to edit control.

I try to run in Linux accounting software (demo program can be downloaded from http://www.vsoft.sk/wdemofib.exe), everything is fine except some minor errors in wine. You need not to run it; wine notepad shows the same error. With US keyboard layout it's ok.
