Description Raimundo Neto 2018-06-24 03:38:15 UTC
The accents not working in Facebook, but in another sites it works fine. Version: 3.0.1.
Comment 1 Xavier Brochard 2018-06-30 11:34:34 UTC
Please be more precise :
does it means that keys with printed accentuated letter (like é or ù) — direct accents_—, or keys with printed accents (like ^ or ~) that you press before a normal letter — composed accents — are not working or both ?

I can confirm that composed accents upper vowels don't work on Facebook (it works with Firefox), while it work on consonants (like "~" + "n"). Direct accents work too.

Typing accents with space shows briefly the accent after the sapcebar is pressed.

I am experiencing this issue with Google Documents. I can write characters like "ç" or "ñ" (which have their own key in the keyboard), but attempting to write accent marks leads to no success.

In my case (Spanish layout), these are written by first pressing [`] or [´] and then the letter (usually a vowel) that must appear below, e.g. [`] + [a] = "à".
Pressing [`] or [´] two times writes the accent alone. The use of these accent keys always requires pressing a second key.

As I said, I can't write accented letters, but I can't write the accent alone either. In fact, the behaviour is [`] + [a] = "", instead of [`] + [a] = "a", so there seems to be an attempt to process the accent key.

Of course, pasting accented characters from the clipboard works.

That's a Qt issue https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69652

Thanks Antonio for pointing that out. The link seems to include a useful workaround for the issue.
