Description Pablo Montepagano 2009-02-17 17:08:28 UTC 
Version:           0.70.0 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I start a conversation sometimes (not always) I simply want to type an accented character, and instead of getting "á", for instance, I get "´a" (2 characters). This only happens in Kopete, and not in any other program. It is a strange behaviour, because if I simply close the conversation window and start again a conversation with the same person, tildes are back to normal. And sometimes they even work in one conversation tab but not in the other.

I have NO idea why this might be happening. It's a very strange bug.

More info: it only happens in the FIRST tab of chat (i.e., the one on the left).
When disabling tabbed conversations, the problem does not appear (at least not until now).
Comment 2 Roman Jarosz 2009-02-18 08:51:59 UTC 
The workaround is to check "Always show tabs" in configure->behavior->chat
