Trying to create a new activity and set its name or edit the name for any other activity does not enable "greek annotation letters". In greek there are some letters, for example, "α, ο, ι, υ" that can get an annotation above them "ά, ό, ί, ύ" but these letters can not be written. A workaround for this is to create the name in an external editor and copy, paste the name to the Activity name field Reproducible: Always
Does entering these special letters work in the activity switcher (win+q) search box? How do you type those letters - some special key combination?
In the "activity switcher (win+q) search box" these characters can be written correctly. These characters are written with the key combination: -";" which is next to the "l" letter- and after that pressing any of these characters
Confirming the report. This is the funniest issue I've ever encountered - I'll see where the bug is, I'm afraid it will not be trivial to fix - it might be in Qt.
Created attachment 101749 [details] Bug Minimal Test
Can you get the attachment (Bug Minimal Test), extract it and run the following in its directory: qmake make ./quickwidget You'll get a small window with a text box. Can you type the special characters in it? I tried, and it did not work for me, but I'd like a confirmation before submitting a Qt bug report. (you will need qmake and qt development packages installed)
Ivan, I can confirm it with Qt 5.7.0
Thanks. I've opened a Qt report for this at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56816
A small update, the Qt bug has been marked as "Important". Hopefully, this means it will be fixed soon.
nice to hear!! :) thank u Ivan!
I'll mark this as upstream - just follow the Qt bug progress (not much progress so far :/).
