I tried the Google Chrome 6 release and found out that with my US International keyboard setting the special characters (or compose to get accented characters like é ) are not working. Strang enough ~ and ` are working, but ^ and " and ' not. When using the combination Chrome and Gmail this is a serious problem.
I tried Chrome 7 dev, but is has the same problem.
When using Chrome directly installed on Win7 this problem does not occur.
Is there a solution?
