Hi Marcel,

are you sure it worked recently?

It might be related to https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/403

If using a new VM, we should remove conversion macToSqueak at image side at least for windows related stuff.

I started some more aggressive cleaning in the image, but did not publish because

1) VM sync was required.

2) macRoman heresy does susbsist in VM for other OS (linux/mac) - not sure if really used though...

Hi, there.

I am on Windows 10, German keyboard layout. Yesterday, I switched to OpenSmalltalk-VM version 201911282316, 32-bit.

Here are the symptoms:

- I cannot type German umlauts anymore (öäü) in a workspace

- The Monticello patch browser finds strange diffs for things I did not touch

Affected VM versions:

- 201911282316

- 201911222128 

- 201911220849

- 201911182135

- 201911160620

Last time it worked as expected was in 201911140217.

This is a serious issue. :-O

Best,

Marcel

Sure. I tried out all the VM versions listed before. So, I suppose it is not image-related? I am now working with the 201911140217 version in Trunk until this gets addressed. 

So, you are suggesting that this is an interdepedence between recent VM version and Image version? Where to look?

I suppose I would mess up all the changes files and maybe even MCZ if working with those newer VMs at the moment. Plus I cannot type any umlauts or other fancy characters.

I also opened an issue on GitHub:

Best,

Marcel

Which of the 83 assets files is the "right" to download for Win10, 64bit? :-)

squeak.cog.spur-cmake?

squeak.cog.spur.sdl2-cmake?

Hi Nicolas,

with Multilingual-nice.248, that bug was fixed in Squeak.

I suppose that VMs before 201911160620 will not work anymore with the recent Trunk on Windows. Not sure. Anyway, the VM 201911282316 is still a valid candidate for the Squeak 5.3 release. Yay. :-)

Best,

Marcel
