Description Adrián Chaves (Gallaecio) 2009-04-17 01:07:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

That's all. I have to use Kate in orther to be able to write characters like á, é, í, ó, ú, although I can write ñ or ç. Seems that KDETwitter (or widget-twitter) prints a ´ as soon as I press the key, and doesn't wait for the character after it, so 'a + ´ = ´a', while it should be 'a + ´ = á'.

This happens also using the notes and translatoid plasmoids on KDE 4.2.2. with all the special characters which have to be written using two keys on certain keyboards (¨, ^, ´, etc.).

I didn't have that problem when I was using KDE-4.2.2. But now that I upgraded to kde-4.2.3, the problem showed up.

I am from Brazil and when I type stuff in pt_BR which need accentuation, as soon as I press the "acute" (´) key it gets displayed, instead of waiting for the next character (a vowel in Portuguese).

Any hints on how to solve this?

Aínda non. Let's hope someone fix it soon.

Comment 7 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2009-05-29 15:06:06 UTC

Fixed in trunk but I cannot point to the commit that fixed it! But accented letters like ^ + e => ê and compose key accents now work in all Plasma input widgets!
