[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-216) accented chars (áéíóú) not working with Firefox in Linux

["Michael Jumper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-216?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16214669#comment-16214669 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-216:
------------------------------------------

The underlying issue here is a lack of support for dead keys. Depending on the browser in use, different key events are registered for characters typed via dead keys.

If the browser in use actually registers separate events for dead keys (Firefox) rather than a single event for the resulting combined character (Chrome), things will not work. If the remote desktop cannot type the resulting character without a series of key events including the dead key (XRDP), even the combined character will not work.

Centralizing this into GUACAMOLE-352.

> Special spanish characters with a spanish keyboard like "á é í ó ú" just print "a e i o u" when using Firefox 51.0.1 in Ubuntu 14.04. It's working OK with Chrome. 
> Works OK when printing € (AltGR + E).
> Works OK with Firefox the same Firefox version in Windows XP.
> Previously seems like it was solved in https://glyptodon.org/jira/browse/GUAC-659 . May be a regression?
