Description James 2005-01-11 02:25:17 UTC When using Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer, a user who clicks on a special character link while editing a page will find that scrambled junk is entered instead of a thorn, eth, accented a, e, i, o, u and so forth. This problem does not occur with Firefox. Comment 1 Zigger 2005-01-11 02:37:50 UTC *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1247 ***
