Hi there,

I just install DSL 2.4 on an old Unika laptop with French keyboard. I have fr-latin1 keymap loaded at boot time. In the terminal, the keys work fine, and in particular, I can get the at-sign (@) by pressing <Alt Gr>. Bu t this doesn't work in Firefox. I even tried to copy and paste the character from the terminal to Firefox, to no avail.

What's up ? Is that a bug in Firefox, or a special feature ? Couldn't use Dillo as the web site would not display correctly.

Thanks for your help,

Jean-Marc Petit
