Cannot enter text correcty on Win platform

[Christian Stimming]

Hi,

thanks for reporting this problem. I'd suggest you add a new bugzilla entry 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash
but I've already another question:

We have to different entry fields (from an implementation point of view): 

The first kind are the normal (gtk) entry boxes, which come up for example 
when (in an account register window) you click the button "Transfer" in the 
toolbar or the menu entry Actions->Transfer. Is it possible to enter Latvian 
characters in the "Description" text field? If not, it's most likely a fault 
of the gtk library.

The other kind of entry boxes are those in the account register ("table") 
windows, where you see all the transactions in a window. If something doesn't 
work there, well, it's most likely our fault... 

Again thanks for your report and please add a description to bugzilla. Once 
you've entered the report there, you can also upload screenshots there, which 
would be quite helpful for seeing what you can enter.
