dead keys no longer work in windows version

[Stephan Stahl]

Hi.

I just noticed that dead keys work no longer in the current cvs
version.  I use windows xp and the us international keyboard layout at
work.  For those that do not know the layout combinations like " and a
produce ä or an other example is ` and e = è.  Right now if i press "
and a i get just the plain a and later when i press space i get the ".
It still works in other applications so something in emacs must have
changed.  I use the latest unpatched emacs-cvs from here:
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html

Oh and by the way i have a dual monitor setup with the primary one on
the right side and if i have an emacs frame on the left monitor its
tooltips appear on the right monitor..

Regards,
Stephan

Sorry for the noise a computer reboot 'fixed' that problem.  Though starting
a new instance of emacs before that reboot did NOT help.  Very strange thing.

Thanks for the report, but this is not the right place for bug reports
about the CVS code.  Please send them to emacs-devel@gnu.org (CC'ed).

Can you tell what was the last CVS version (i.e. on what date was it
built) where it did work?

If you replace Windows with GNU/Linux, things like this probably won't
happen.  In addition, your software will respect your freedom (Windows
does not).
