I tried with the Japanese input method, and still find the same glitch
(typing ";!" results in "!;", etc.).

Is this particulat to some application or always true for all program?


This applies to all programs I use (web browser, terminal, text editor) .

What to do from now? Should I report this to the developers, too?

Regards,

MM
