Can't type "m" in Mac version
My friend and I are both new users. He is using the Mac version. I am using XP. He cannot type "m" in text fields like lyrcis or chord names. I have no problem typing this character. "m" is the only chacter he cannot type.
Comments
He must be using 0.9.6 beta 1 for Mac. Tell him to upgrade to 0.9.6 beta 2 (revision 2811).

David,
As reported on 2-Mar-10 in thread #4817, this problem was probably introduced in beta 2.
lasconic related that he had recently added M/m as a shortcut for the Mixer, and this shortcut has effect even when you try to type lyrics etc. He immediately identified the bug and said it would be fixed in the next version.
Any guess when the next version is?

Thanks for the correction, Guy. The exact release date is not yet set and depends on feedback from the nightly builds, and the upcoming release candidate. I suspect we are only a few weeks away.

We did try clearing the m shortcut, but Preferences > Shortcuts > Clear did not appear to do anything. Is that another bug?
My friend also complained that he could not type the accents he needed for French lyrics, but we didn't have time for me to investigate so I didn't report anything. Should he/we be able to include special characters in lyrics?
We are both new to this sort of software, and he has only had his Mac for a couple of weeks so our first instinct is that we are doing something wrong.

Do the normal methods for writing accents on Mac not work? http://french.about.com/od/writing/ss/typeaccents_8.htm

I'll let you know after the Easter break. I run a computer club for the elderly (University of the Third Age) and we can only meet during term/semester time.

Just to say that I don't have issue when inputing french lyrics on a french Mac

Many thanks to all the developers: this bug seems to be fixed.
