Hi!
I cant find out how to write semicolon and lots of other characters in the page editor. Also I would like to be able to write dot (.) in the page title.

Is the Opera browser going to get better support? As of today thing work well (I think), but things look way much better in firefox.

EDIT:
That was all under Vista and with the latest flash plugin.
On Intrepid Ibex (ubuntu) however, not even the navigation menu will display correctly.
And this is tested with both Firefox and Opera with the latest Adobe Flash player.

I know that there are a lot of special characters not currently supported, but I think the semicolon should work so I will check into that. Others have mentioned that they can enter the characters by copy an pasting them in but not by entering them directly.

Periods do not work in as page title because it does not make a valid url for the page. I haven't done much testing with the other OS that you mentioned so I'll have to look into that issue more.

This might be adobe's fault, but all special characters seems to follow some strange keyboard layout. On my Norwegian keyboard the keys [, ;] and [. :] are just to the right of the [m] key, but all I'm getting is < and > regardless if I use shift or not.

any possibillities these issues will be fixed? The special characters problem is still there. I survive not being able to have periods in my title though

I believe the keyboard layout issue you mentioned, might be an adobe one but I will continue to look into this.
