Bug Description

Running Midori 0.5.7 Private browsing on Windows 2008 R2 Server via Terminal Services connection

    There is no possibility to enter characters using ALT+Number sequence (Like Alt+64 -> @, Alt+33 -> !), which I'm used to for simplicity using Lithuanian Keyboard (as letters are put on the numbers row).

    Expected behaviour -- ability to enter any characters using Alt+Number (Using Numpad) sequence.

Does this input method work in the non-web portions of the browser (search entry and locationbar)? If not, this is a GTK+ bug rather than a Midori one; it may be the case the GTK+ doesn't understand alt+numpad input.

I do not know where to file a bug for GTK+ then -- maybe someone else could?
Any suggestions for any other GTK+ software to try for confirmation it is GTK+ bug?

Other GTK+ software which runs on Windows includes XChat, the Gimp, and Pidgin (though each likely ships a different version of GTK+ which may complicate matters). You can submit GTK+ bug reports at <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/>.

Hi,
   Was not able to test XChat, but the GIMP and Pidgin exposes the same problem.
