Dead keys problem

[Pilli]

Hi

I've installed VirtualBox 2.1.2 at OpenSolaris host an I've a problem with keyboard in guest, dead keys ([, `, ^) does not work. With 2.0.6 version keyboard works well.

I try with i386 and AMD64 hots and with OpenSolaris 2008.11 svn 101b and svn 105.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Which keyboard layout is used on the host OS?

On a german layout keyboard, SX:CE 104 host, VBox 2.1.2, [ and ^ work,
but the dead keys ' and ` do not work.

I have the same problem. Swedish b105. I have to cut&paste from Solaris into VB to get the keys.
