Description lcerf 2022-02-27 16:37:08 UTC

SUMMARY
Dead keys are ignored.  For instance, using the French locale and either the "French" or the "French (variant)" keyboard layout, I cannot type a circumflex or a diaeresis in activities such as baby_wordprocessor, gletters, hangman, lang or wordgame: the diacritic is not attached to the base letter (e.g., "a" is input instead of "â" although the key for the circumflex was pressed right before the key for "a").


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch an activity such as baby_wordprocessor, gletters, hangman, lang or wordgame.
2. Try to attach a diacritic to a letter using a dead key (for instance, try to type "â" using the French keyboard layout).

OBSERVED RESULT
The diacritic is not attached to the base letter.

EXPECTED RESULT
The diacritic is attached to the base letter.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux 11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried with the "French" and "French (variant)" keyboard layouts.  I run gcompris-qt.sh installed from https://download.kde.org/stable/gcompris/qt/linux/gcompris-qt-2.3-Linux64.sh but that issue has been present for many versions, maybe since the switch to Qt.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

I can reproduce it with the packages but not on my system when I compile myself.

I'll dig more

Comment 2 Jazeix Johnny 2022-02-27 17:10:43 UTC

There is a missing plugin in the package, I'm adding it.

Thanks again!

This issue is specific to Linux, it should not affect other system

Moi qui croyais rapporter un bogue qui prendrait du temps à être résolu, je suis stupéfait par votre réactivité.  Merci encore pour votre travail.
