(Copied from <http://crbug.com/13233>.)

Chrome Version       : 2.0.172.28 (Official Build )
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 4: Fail
  Firefox 3.x: Fail
         IE 7: Fail
         IE 8: Fail

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take a flash movie with a text box
2. Render onto page with wmode parameter set to 'opaque' or 'transparent'
3. Set keyboard language to Greek
4. Type in box

What is the expected result?

Greek characters corresponding to keyboard layout

What happens instead?

Latin characters corresponding to US keyboard layout.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

I've made a demonstration page at http://baseonmars.co.uk/bugs/wmode along with
short 
movie clips showing the results.

It's possible to write text in another application (or even the address bar)
then copy paste it into 
the textbox.

The other browsers have this bug, but IE7, IE8 and Firefox Minefield
demonstrate the bug by 
showing 2 characters for each keypress, generally one is a punctuation mark and
the other 
shows as a rectangle.

The firefox team have a long history with this bug, blame has been passed back
and forth 
between the flash and mozilla team for at least 4 years 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272847, 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347185). Hopefully some of their
experience can 
help the chromium team.
