Description mateusz-lists 2011-03-20 15:44:33 UTC 
Version:           1.13.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

It worked as supposed in kmail with KDE 4.4.x, now pressing right alt + o does not do anything. 
Rest of polish characters work excellent (except right alt + shift + o - not producing Oacute either).
Rest of KDE applications (konqueror, kate) has no problem at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
start writing new e-mail using kmail having polish keyboard layout and hit rightalt + o.


Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Nice ó letter entered.

I've got the same problem (Gentoo ~amd64). However, it's not completely true (at least for me) that nothing happens when "rightalt+o" gets pressed. *Some*thing happens then, because the very next key pressed (any key) is eaten. As if it treated "rightalt+o" as a begin of a "keyboard shortcut chord" (maybe it's so, although I reviewed all shortcut lists and didn't find anything like this).

Łukasz, you are right. I can confirm that after hitting "rightalt+o" next key pressed is eaten in my system too. I reviewed kmail shortcut list and found nothing either.

Only happens with kmail ?
Comment 4 Sergio Martins 2011-04-09 13:03:58 UTC 
This is working with kmail from git-master, it shows a ø
Comment 5 Lukasz Wojtylak 2011-04-09 20:21:41 UTC 
Yes, it happens only with kmail. External application launched from kmail (eg. kaddressbook) work fine. And it seems independent of keyboard layout, I tried many different layouts with the same effect. If the code from the master repository works OK, maybe it's a debug hack left accidentally in the code of 1.13.6 and then removed?

Works as expected in KMail2. The issue will be resolved in kdepim 4.6
