Double accent mark on Spanish keyboard

Hello, first and foremost congrats for the new versions and scripts everyone, great job!

I'm having a problem with the latest version, 2.7.040, win7 64bits, CS4.

In my Spanish keyboard, when I want to write an accented word such as "fantástico", the outcome is "fant´´astico". That is, Illustrator is doubling my accent mark keystrokes.

I know it's due to Scriptographer, since removing its directory temporarily fixes the problem. This didn't happen with v2.5.030. I can't find any intermediate version like 2.6 in the site (are old versions hidden somewhere?) so I can't say if this is the first version to cause that.

At first I thought it was a virus, since there actually exists a trojan/keylogger which causes the same bizarre behaviour, double accent marks (!)... but this only happens in illustrator and as I said, removing the Scripto dir temporarily fixes the issue.

Anyone has the same problem or know of a workaround?

Many thanks in advance!

Just to confirm that I managed to reproduce that. Pressing '`' once make two `` appear, and none of them is joined with the character typed after. I will look into it again.

Ok, I managed to find the source of this and already fixed it. It is a known issue in Microsoft's ToUnicode method. Very odd...

This will be in the next version, to be released in the coming days:

Good to know, I'll test it thoroughly when it comes out.

Thanks again Jürg!

Lola, what OS, Illustrator and scriptographer versions are you using?

It works fine for me on Win7 64bits, Illy cs5 and latest sg version right now (2.8.052)

I'm afraid I have no idea what any of that means! I don't know too much about computers so don't understand the jargon. However, I can confirm that I use Windows Vista Home Premium 2006, service pack 2. Hope that can help you help me!

What he meant was: Which version of Scriptographer do you have installed? Did you upgrade to the latest?

I think Lola just stumbled upon this forum without knowing it's about Scriptographer, a plugin for Adobe Illustrator, not a general operating system one...

If that's the case and you are having this problem all over Windows, it may be caused by a virus/trojan. You can google it.

If that's not the case, forget what I just said and please provide more info so Jürg can help you :)
