[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#762515: chromium: ignores keys from keyboard (like umlauts)

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: chromium
Version: 37.0.2062.120-2
Severity: important


Hi.

Since a long time now, chromium simply ignores any special keys pressed
on my keyboard, starting from umlaut keys on e.g. german keyboards
to everything created with the compose key or Alt Gr modifiers.

I really wonder what business a browser has to do in messing around
with the keyboard. o.O


Of course everything works just fine in all other applications.


Cheers,
Chris.
