SUMMARY graphic accents for regional configuration in Valencian *** In the KDE Neon 5.26 distribution, if you set Valencian as the language in the regional settings [Catalan (ca@valencia)], the accents on the keyboard stop working. If you put the Catalan or Spanish language, it works. This happens in both X11 and Wayland, but Wayland only happens in certain applications. Examples: Accents work in Firefox, Libreoffice, Inkscape under wayland Accents do not work in Kwrite, Kate, Telegram Desktop, Dolphin under wayland *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Opens sistemsettings5 and go to "language and region" 2. Modify language to "català (ca@valencia)" 3. Exit or restart graphic session 4. Try to write at any app characters as è, é, à, á, etc. OBSERVED RESULT Characters are not reproduced with accents but without them (e, e, a, a) EXPECTED RESULT that come out written with graphic accents SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.26 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-56-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 30.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR Manufacturer: SLIMBOOK Product Name: PROX14-AMD
Moving to systemsettings but it's likely elsewhere (Qt even?). This happens after setting the LANG=ca_ES@valencia.UTF-8, I'm not sure why it would affect the keyboard response.
The correct locale should be ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia, not sure if this is caused by the incorrect locale.
kcm_regionandlang set wrong locale modifiers before, it's already been fixed: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2472
