On this side, I have confirmed that the "@" functionality is working correctly for users using MAC. I have 7 users with MAC who report that they have no problems using "@" on the platform: https://test.idempiere.org/webui/.

I understand that is in Germany, so it could be that the keyboard regional settings are influencing this case.

Dear , this correction is now available in version 12 "Kudos"

Hi , yes, it’s in r12, but said it doesn’t work in his system.

So, you better keep looking for a complete solution, I don’t have a Mac to reproduce the problem.

I tested on the linked system with gardenAdmin user. unfortunately the problem is not solved. € (Option + E) and @ (Option + L) still are not usable in textboxes. £ (Option + Shift + 4) does work, but this one I did not test for problems in the earlier version, so I don’t know if it had an issue before.
