kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent Propagation?

Dear Carbon-Dev,

My WaitNextEvent-based application has compositing windows with standard window handlers. The problem I have is with the propagation of kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvents.

When none of the views in the windows is focused, everything works: When I press a key, a kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent is received by my WindowEventTarget (which returns eventNotHandledErr), and then by my ApplicationEventTarget (which also returns eventNotHandledErr). WaitNextEvent then rewards me with a keyDown event.

If one of the views in the windows has the keyboard focus, it's different: kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvents are received by the focused view, and if that returns eventNotHandledErr, propagate to the WindowEventTarget. Just like before, this returns eventNotHandledErr. Things turn sour from here on, as the ApplicationEventTarget never receives any kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent, and WaitNextEvent returns a nullEvent, followed by a keyUp event.

The behavior is the same in Panther and Tiger, and breaks application- level keyboard events whenever a view is focused.

Is kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent not the event I should be responding to for keyboard events?
What do I need to do to fix the event propagation to the application?

Thanks for any clues,

Florian
