Description Nuno Zimas 2006-10-31 03:51:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

After a routine upgrade to latest KDE and Xorg version available on the main repository the distribution i use, PCLinuxOS, my keyboard map started to act weird.
In Qt/KDE applications, specific portuguese characters (pt) are simply ignored, even if i turn the proper KDE layout on.
In OpenOffice, the deadkeys where certain accents are taken from behave more or less like nodeadkeys.
In Firefox, on the other hand, it all works as it shall.

Here is an example.

Intended character: à (a with grave accent; html name entity &agrave;)
Qt/KDE apps: a (plain a)
OpenOffice: `a (accent apart from a)
Firefox: à (correct rendering)

Hello,

Can you still reproduce the bug with the latest KDE 4 release?

Thanks.
