What locale & language do you have your mac setup as?? (English, russian, something else?).

Are you running in windowed mode or full-screen mode..

Which store did you buy the game from?

Is that a querty layout or something else??

My initial guess is it could have something to do with the keyboard layout.. Are you using Lion or Snow Leopard?? And is is fully up to date?

That is extremely strange.. There should be no reason it should be doing that.. Do any other games on your system have that issue?? Do you have any other software installed that might affect the keyboard? I would try switching to a US keyboard layout and see if that resolves the issue.

in System settings open up Language & Text, then choose Input source, and add the US keyboard.. Make sure to check the "Show input menu in menu bar".
