Ignoring letters using acute accent
Open, LowPublic

Description

AutoWikiBrowser ignores letters using acute accent (e.g. á, é or í) when I use ctrl and ←→ to move. I didn't test for other “special” characters (only Hungarian ones), so there could be others too. Affected boxes:

  • article text
  • append to list as a page (Make me list)
  • more tab->append/prepend
  • skip tab

You can test it on my sandbox. Examples below.

| means the position of the cursor. We start from the beginning (“Test”) and hit Ctrl+→

Expected outcome: Test |átest
Outcome: Test á|test

Expected outcome: Test |íí íí test
Outcome: Test íí íí |test

Event Timeline

I don’t know exactly how AWB works, but it uses Internet Explorer under the hood, so this may be an IE bug. I can reproduce it in AWB on Win7 with IE11.

Ignores them where?

See the description: when I use CTRL and ←→ to move while I'm editing the page.

The description didn't say that.

You mean when you're in the text box with the article text?

Yes.
