SYMPTOMS
On a Microsoft Windows 2000, Traditional Chinese (CHT)-based computer that has an Input Method Editor (IME) installed, when you use Eudcedit.exe to create an End User Defined Character (EUDC), and then delete the character by using the steps described in the EUDC Help topic “To delete a private character”, the corresponding input sequence is not deleted in Input Method Editor (IME).



CAUSE
This problem occurs because you cannot delete a EUDC character after it is defined. The EUDC Help Topic states, &quot;In the Edit grid, drag the mouse to draw a rectangle around the character. On the Edit menu, click Delete.&quot; However, the delete action does not actually delete the character. Instead, it defines the EUDC character as an empty square. This is the same as drawing another shape that corresponds to the same input sequence.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
