Pre-Patch created dead keys that close the game on Mac, e.g. ^ and ´ with German keyboard settings

I found a workaround for this:

  1. Open System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts… > App Shortcuts
  2. Click on the + to add a new shortcut
  3. For Applications, select the “World of Warcraft.app” file under the retail folder (/Applications/World of Warcraft/retail/World of Warcraft.app)
  4. In the field for Menu Title, enter: “Quit World of Warcraft”, it has to be exactly like this but without the " ".
  5. For Keyboard Shortcut, use another shortcut than the one that closes your game. CMD + Q quit the game for me so I chose CMD + F12 for example.
  6. Click Done and close System Settings, open the game and test it.
