Deinstalling scim, skim and related packages suppresses this problem. No idea why skim pokes its head in. I haven't done anything to enable it, and saw no option to disable it. But xim will do for me, so I just deinstalled it. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! No response; assuming it was fixed since then. |
Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Since KDE 4.2, compose key (for entering international accented characters) is ignored in all KDE and QT applications. I have set compose to rwin (tested also menu, rctrl and others) like I did in KDE 3.x using the keyboard layout settings page in systemsettings. All other programs respect the compose key (like OpenOffice.org, xterm, etc), only KDE and QT-programms ignore it. I have then tried to use setxkbmap to set the compose-key: $setxkbmap -option compose:menu resulting in the following settings: $ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+de:2+inet(evdev)+compose(menu)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; Still the same reaction: other programs work as expected, KDE/QT doesn't.
