Hi,

I use mostly my MBP 5.1 to demo and show Ignition. With OS X and several VM (XP, Linux, Seven, 2008R2…).  
There is a very annoying problem with this configuration when using OS X.  
Some very usefull keys (\ {} []…) do not work every where.

Work :  
Find/Replace window  
Editable Text (label, button…)  
etc.

Do not work :  
all script/expression/sql editors…  
script playground…

In VM under XP for example, it is ok.

Keyboard FR (azerty), Java 1.6.024, Ignition 7.2.5, OS X 10.6.7

Any idea or workaround ?
