[Chimera-users] Issues with characters on command line (OS X 10.9)

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Andreas,

  I just tried Chimera 1.8.1 (both 64-bit and 32-bit) on Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) and typing tilde (~) in the command-line worked as expected.  I tried this via remote desktop display, so I wasn't using the Apple keyboard.  I don't have access to a Mac OS 10.9 machine today.  I wonder if you have a stuck modifier key on your keyboard.  I assume tilde displays fine in other apps (e.g. TextEdit) for you.  Can you type tilde in some other place in Chimera other than the command-line, for example, Tools / Viewing Controls / Camera / scale factor?  If you enable keyboard shortcuts with the command "ac", then type tilde (~) does it say ~ - unknown accelerator in the status line at the bottom of the Chimera window?

  You should use Chimera menu Help / Report a Bug… so we don't pester everyone on the mailing list discussing this.

	Tom
