[SOLVED] MacOS, .11 and the "@" character

[tja]

strange, strange.

today my wife wanted to compose a message and told me that the she cant enter "@" into the email-adress. first i didnt believe her as i had sent a mail today without troubles.

she insists so i checked it and - voila - on her macboc (10.5.5) she cant enter "@" into "To:", "CC:", "Subject:" and not even into the message. the key simply wouldnt work (its ALT-L as we have german mac keyboards).
other special chars with ALT are working fine, entering "@" into the browsers adress-line or searchfield, entering "@" into other apps and webapps ... and entering "@" in the zimbra adress-book, calendar etc will work too !!!
just the mail-part will take no "@" ...

further tests show that
.) the problem is on both safari and firefox 3
.) firefox in ubuntu works fine (thats why i had no problem)
.) a second macbook (10.5.5 too) show the same symptoms

on monday i did the update to 5.0.11 ...

dunno what happens here.
didnt find any other post on this problem but "@ mac" is a difficult search-term i guess.

has anybody a clue ?

wbr,tja...

EDIT: added forgotten info about the update.

That's Bug 28221 - [Mac] shortcut "Alt+L" coflicts with "@" char on german mac keyboard fixed for GNR 6.0.

Workaround is to change the shortcuts for low priority:
/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/keys ZmKeys_de.properties &
ZhKeys_de.properties

You could either create .mac values:
compose.LowPriority.display = Alt+L
compose.LowPriority.display.mac = Alt+value
compose.LowPriority.keycode = Alt+76
compose.LowPriority.keycode.mac = Alt+value

Or change it to what it's going to be for 6.0 and not mess with specific .os attributes:
compose.LowPriority.display = Ctrl+P,Ctrl+L
compose.LowPriority.keycode = Ctrl+80,Ctrl+76
compose.LowPriority.description = Low priority
compose.LowPriority.sort = 30110

su - zimbra
zmmailboxdctl restart

ah, should have searched for Alt+L then.

ok, did that:

for f in *; do sed -i 's/Alt+L/Ctrl+P,Ctrl+L/g' $f; done
for f in *; do sed -i 's/Alt+76/Ctrl+80,Ctrl+76/g' $f; done

restarted zimbra and relog and the mac is able to send mails again, thank you very much.
