I tried with the Mac/Linux version 1.71-gpl-1.7.1, listed here: 
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/qscintilla/download.php
The other version for Mac available (1.73-gpl-2.1) has a different API.

The problem with the special characters (i.e. cannot type @ # [ ] { } 
... ) affects also that version, 1.71-gpl-1.7.1.
Is this a problem related to QScintilla or scintilla?

Any hints on how to report/solve this issue?
Before thinking to move to the new API, I want to be sure that the move 
will solve this problem on Mac OS X (the same problem doesn't exist on 
Linux and Windows, also on older versions of QScintilla).



Thanks again,
