While in Chrome I can not type the backwards curly bracket "}". It works fine in Firefox, but since Chrome is my browser of choice, I'd really enjoy using it for this simple task. And yes, the bracket is typable on any other page, it's only with OctoberCMS I'm having this issue.

Works just fine for me in lates Chrome version under Windows 7 x64.

I'm using the latest Chrome in Windows 7 x64 too... This is weird. No reason why this should be in the first place, no reason why this should be when it works for you on the same system! WTF!?

If you copy the } from outside and paste it in the editor does it show properly? Have you tried using another keyboard input language?

If I copy it works like a charm. It's odd, it works perfectly on my work computer with, pretty much, the exact same set-up. Since nobody else has experienced this issue I think it's safe to assume it's a sad day for me and something is not working properly on my computer.
