Hi, I'm fairly new but let me tell you I LOVE BBO!

Regarding my problem, I use a standard PT keyboard with that setting on in Windows 7, using Chrome as explorer. My problem is whenever I'm using the chatbox in the BBO client I don't have full access of my keyboard, meaning I can't use characters like : ; = ? to point a few. I've tried changing it to US english on windows with no effect. I don't have this problem anywhere else so if anyone can help I thank you in advance.

My regards,
João Sequeira

Incidentally my compose key doesn't work in the Flash version of BBO either.

I am glad to hear you like BBO so much.

If you don't mind trying Internet Explorer (instead of Chrome) for BBO purposes and let me know if it makes a difference (I think it will) I would appreciate it. Same goes for Firefox if you happen to have it installed already (no need to download and install it if you don't).

Thanks,

I can use dead keys in Firefox, the don't work in Chrome nor Opera. I can get áéíóúñ using AltGr in all three. Right button does not work in Chrome.
