Don't now, I'll play around wih 1.2 on Leopard and see what that does.

I have a MacBook with an International English keyboard.

I am typically using a homebuild layout based on US English (with  
umlauts on Alt-a, ...). I can reproduce the problem with the standard  
US english layout as well.

Well, it has worked on the same hardware, using the same keyboard  
layouts before. So it must be something with the Leopard/1.3rc  
software combo. I also suspect Leopard and will come back with more  
info here.
