Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.85) OS: Linux Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create new and simple gesture. Open Special Character Addition Tools in OpenOffice. Copy euro/alpha sign to action tab. Save changes and try to insert this character by a gesture. Change now character to a letter. Try to insert a letter now. Actual Results: Special character wasn't inserted - no matter of active window. Expected Results: I can insert Euro/Alpha/other signs. KDE Application and GTK+ are affected by this bug. I think, that is a KHotKeys based bug.
> I think, that is a KHotKeys based bug. Yesno. It's not trivial to XSendEvent a synthetic unicode, because XKeycodeToKeysym will fail on it. It would be required to map the unicode into another code. Then xsync, wait some time (until the receiving client hopefully handled the input) and change back the mapping. Ughh. => This will not fix, what might be a possible solution somewhere somewhen is to support pasting text (though afaik, you cannot just past the secondary selection buffer to another client, so you'd have to operate on the primary buffer and fake a 3rd mouse button press, what ends up in a paste wherever the mouse currently is)
