I tried that and got the same behavior. This must be related to the Scintilla bug I mentioned earlier ("PythonWin non-ascii chars typing bug" on Jan 26).

The first of my suggestions (downgrading to Scintilla 1.74) will resolve this (at least with ASCII chars; I didn't try with Chinese).

The second one (Scintilla 1.77 + SCI_SETKEYSUNICODE) doesn't help with Chinese, even though it works for a Greek system codepage (cp1253). Probably because the Chinese codepage is multibyte.
