False keyboard characters

[rokas]

Hi,

 

first of all, congratulations with a release of Accordance 11 - I really like new things you brought in. It all runs very smoothly and I love it.

 

One problem though:

I use German keyboard, and whenever I type these characters, I get them replaced by another ones:

"ä" instead of "<", "<" instead of "y", and Omega sign instead of "-". Interestingly, this happens only when I type in notes and in the search field, but doesn't when I type in the research field (See the attached picture).

 

My specs:

Acc 11.0.0, Asus X53S, Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

 

EDIT: the same with number 3 - instead of it I get "§" (which normally would require Shift+3).

The same happens in my case, using the Spanish keyboard layout. It seems that the Search Entry area accepts the key presses and translates them to their US-keyboard counterparts.

Well, mine is the mix of German, Greek and possibly English

That makes this issue all the more interesting.

Yes. This is an interesting issue.

 

It will be fixed, but not in the immediate release that fixes the Spanish Atlas, Dropbox and other bugs.

 

The only workaround for now, will be to use the Alt+Shift to get to the English Keyboard and back.

 

we'll try to get the fix up as soon as possible.

Since I have 4 languages set on my laptop (I need them all), switching isn't that quick, but it's good to know you'll tackle it. Thanks!
