Version: 4.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux When I try to find a word that contains an accented greek vowel (e.g. ά), the accented vowel cannot be typed in the Find field Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - Open kwrite, even with no document - Hit Ctrl+f to open the Find field - Try to type ά (using the greek keyboard, type ' and α. The accent is a dead key but when α is typed afterwards, the accented ά should appear). Actual Results: Nothing appears, not even the non-accented letter α. Just accidentally, I noticed that if, at any moment, I hit Ctrl+G (the GoTo field opens) and then Ctrl+F, then ά is entered correctly!
This bug can be reproduced with any accented character, not only Greek. For example <Compose>"o. But there is workaround. If you click in document area and then back to search bar, all is ok. I have read sources and tried to do this workaround right there, but I haven't succeed. This bug must be somewhere around KateSearchBar::enterIncrementalMode() and can be somehow related to focuses and focusproxy. It looks like this bug not even in Kate, but in Qt... I've tried to cut minimal code, that will cause bug, but all was working, but this is probably because I didn't consider something.
Why do you say that it may be in Qt and not in Kate specifically? Have you been able to find another instance of this? Btw, I was having this in KDE 4.6.1 as well but I do not remember seeing it in (not can I get access to) older versions.
I don't know exactly what is the reason of this bug, I just read source, that is responsible for searchbar and tried to comment out some parts anything strange, that can cause so strange bug. I haven't seen this bug before, because I hardly ever use accented charaters.
>I was having this in KDE 4.6.1 as well but I do not remember seeing it in (not can I get access to) older versions. As I see, there is no related changes (part/search and part/view folders) in Kate git since December of 2010.

Does it work, if you enable/disable 'Tools' > 'Automatic Spell Checking', as reported in bug #274691 ?
(In reply to comment #6) > Does it work, if you enable/disable 'Tools' > 'Automatic Spell Checking', as > reported in bug #274691 ? On my system, Automatic Spell Checking is disabled in kwrite. If I enable it -- and even if I disable it again -- nothing changes. I just noticed that if I open almost any dialog (for example, File->Open) in kwrite AFTER I have made the searchbar visible, then it works fine.
This bug is also happening on Kile Version 2.1.0, using KDE Development Platform 4.7.2, on Ubuntu 11.10.

I cannot write accented chars on Krusader anywhere (renaming files for instance does not work either), while it works with Ububtu 11.10 default applications so this would be a duplicate of Bug 174283. Can you type the accented chars in the rename?
(In reply to comment #10) > Can you type the accented chars in the rename? Me, yes i can type accented characters (Greek) in krename and krusader Mageia 1 Qt 4.7.4

Bug #301975 also mentions this problem in KNotes. From bug #302979: - example, type "día" by pressing "d + ´ + i + a". In the text editor this works, but in the search the result is "da". - The issue appears only the first time the search box is used. That is, if I search any giberish, close the search box and search again, the acute vowels can be input.
Possible Qt issues: - https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25360 - https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-12197 Can you play around with the LANG environment variable and see if Kate behaves differently?
Works for me and for the Qt issues, please follow up in the qt-project bugtracker.
It does nt work here: qt4-common-4.8.2-1.3.mga2
Still happening on Kate 3.9.2, Ubuntu 12.10, KDE 4.9.2..
For me it works, please really follow up on this on qt-project bugtracker, we can't do a thing.
However, there is one application: Konqueror· where it is possible to type accented letters by the first try.
