I have just installed 10.2.5 on a third computer; unlike the first two, this one is experiencing a strange bug with text entry. When pressing modifer keys and normal keys, other than command-key shortcuts and shift+alphanumerics, I get strange results in Cocoa applications.
shift+tab = space
option+arrow keys = unicode character E000
shift+arrow keys = a unicode character in the range E000 to EFFF
control+anything = space

Is anybody else experiencing this?

No, but I've had a problem since 10.2.4 where typing hyphen then immediately space converts the hyphen to a longer bar. And typing /o in that order changes it to ø. It is very annoying and happens in Terminal and everywhere else. And I haven't been able to turn it the hell off.

I can't type my own file path without it changing.

jasoco/documents will become jasocødocuments and the Terminal will be like "Directory does not exist!

I hate this "FEATURE"!

I managed to fix the problem by reinstalling the 10.2.5 combo update, rebooting, finding a hosed system, using Target Disk Mode to re-reinstall 10.2.5, becoming unable to even get single-user mode, using Open Firmware to eject the cd in the drive, replacing it with the 10.2 install CD, using Firewire Target Disk mode again to delete enough things to make 2 GB of space, re-installing 10.2, and installing 10.2.5 over that.

...it felt like I was using Windows
Target Disk mode is very cool, although I only ever use it in emergencies.
