Unable to type accented characters in Okular

Comment 2 Jorge Gustavo Rocha 2020-04-05 18:26:50 UTC

Same problem here, with Okular Version 1.9.3

I can copy and paste accented characters, but I'm not able to type them directly.

Print screen attached.

jgr@zoe:~$ snap list okular
Name    Version  Rev  Tracking       Publisher  Notes
okular  19.12.3  90   latest/stable  kde✓       -

I'm using gnome, with several nice KDE tools installed, like Okular.

jgr@zoe:~$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.34.3

Comment 3 Fernando 2020-04-05 21:35:12 UTC

I've checked it also happens in the Kate snap, so it must have something to do with the KDE runtime.

Comment 4 Fernando 2020-04-21 11:54:48 UTC

I've also asked in:

https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/accents-in-kde-snaps/16765

There, daniel has managed to get some error messages which may help in solving this.

I hope it's acceptable that I bump this bug report ;) I've noticed that the snap is not even up-to-date. An update could be a good chance to look at this bug :)
