How did this bug survive the testing process?
Wait. I think I just answered my own question.
- 0x0 14y agoIt's quite terrible. I even reported it on bugreport.apple.com on 10.8.0, but neither 10.8.1 nor 10.8.2 fixed it. I can't believe there's no-one at Apple using i18n keyboard layouts and Terminal.app. It's not like typing "~" is an uncommon event on the command line.... Meanwhile, VLC fixed the same bug (typing ~ in the VLC.app UI textfields) in about 30 minutes.
- ricardobeat 14y agoDoesn't apply to US-International keyboards, I use "~" all the time.
- 0x0 14y agoDid you try some other i18n keyboard layouts, like Norwegian or Swedish?
- Zirro 14y agoMine is Swedish, and I am unable to reproduce it.
- 0x0 14y agoIt crashes with Swedish layout on 10.8.2 when I type Ctrl + ¨ on my computer. (Alt+~+space seems to work, though)
- Flow 14y agoDoesn't crash my Terminal.app. I use a swedish keyboard. Perhaps you could create a new clean account on your computer and try it there? You can always delete the account afterwards.
- 0x0 14y agoInteresting. Must be some kind of pref setting or something that's surfacing the bug. Ugh, sounds hard to track down.
- Flow 14y agoYup, and that's why I suggests you create a new fresh user and try it there. If the bug doesn't show there it's something in your personal settings somewhere, if not it's in the system settings.
