[Laszlo-dev] workaround for (in)famous http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-40

[Raju Bitter]

@ still has the problem, that you get an extra character input (framed  
box). That only happens for the first @ in a series of entries. Once  
you press an ascii char and then press @ again, the problem is back.

Based on what I know it should be very hard to fix that, since  
detection of ALT-GR key doesn't work in Flash on Linux. But I'll try  
to get a fix for that tomorrow.

Thanks,
Raju
