Description Thiago Sueto 2020-10-12 01:06:47 UTC

SUMMARY
The new Search field (really appreciated tbh) does not allow accents/dead keys, so áàéóãõ and so on.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Use a non-English locale that has dead keys (e.g. pt_BR)
1. Open System Settings, then do any of the following:
2a. Use the general search on upper left corner
2b. Go to Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects
2c. Go to Shortcuts > Shortcuts
2d. Go to Startup and Shutdown > Background Services
3. Attempt to write accented words on the search field

OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot input accents.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should input accents.

Seems like an issue with the text field component. Moving to qqc2-desktop-style to start with. Could ultimately be a Qt issue with QML-based text fields, maybe.

Comment 2 Arjen Hiemstra 2020-10-12 19:32:34 UTC

Interestingly enough it also doesn't accept my Compose key. Since these are (as far as I know) mostly normal TextFields I expect the issue is in Qt.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-10-12 19:36:38 UTC

Yeah, I can reproduce that.

FWIW the compose key does work for me in the search field in the sidebar, which uses the same Kirigami.SearchField component. I wonder if there's an issue with the QML KCMs being drawn inside a widget or something....

Comment 4 Arjen Hiemstra 2020-10-12 19:58:27 UTC

That could very well be it. I just tested in a pure QML application and there things work.

Found an existing report: Bug 414501.
