kaddressbook-4.8.3 does not allow dead accents to be typed into "Custom Name" when contact is new. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new contact. The window for entering the contact details opens. 2. Choose "Custom" from the Display name dropdown 3. Try to enter a letter that is typed with a dead accent, e.g. ú (' followed by u). Actual Results: The letter is not written. Expected Results: The letter should be written. It works with foreign letters that are on the keyboard, e.g. ä, if you enter them as one key press. But it doesn't work if you try to enter it with two key presses, e.g. as " followed by a. Also, it works totally fine once the contact has been saved. When you edit an existing contact, the typing works.
I confirm it. I work after that you focus out focus in. It's a kcombobox perhaps there is a bug into.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kaddressbook (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
