MathType and Mac OS 8.5 bug affects international keyboard layouts
He contacted MathType's Technical Support and received this reply: "We have had a number of users report this problem, however, we don't know what is causing this problem. We did have a user who was using an international keyboard setting change to the U.S. keyboard setting (and recently we learned that Finnish works also) and the problem seems to go away. This seems to be a bug in OS 8.5 because OS 8.1 users were not experiencing this problem. In addition, we discovered that turning off the virtual memory under control panel/memory also seems to circumvent this problem." David tried switching to the U.S. keyboard layout. It worked.
