------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Oct 23 08:40:56 -0700 2005 ------- So this case might be a special one since the Linux used is a Debian sarge and the packages used for installing OOorg 2.0 were alienated using the command alien *.rpm. No matter what keyboard configuration is set, OOorg 2.0 refuses to use the dead keys for writing è é or ê and related characters, which makes it impossible to work with certain languages. The installed OOorg 1.1.3 works perfectly and does change its behavior depending on the keyboard settings (nodeadkeys vs. basic). With rc2 I also tried the alien option --scripts, but this did not influence the lack of accents afterwards. I'll post a comment if this behavoiur holds true for the new Mandriva 2006 installation (installation of the vanilla rpm's.) If this is an Debian-only issue it would be worth to include a readme for Debian users or to find a way to circumvent this issue. (Easiest way would be to provide fully working *.deb's and let the mirroring be done by some Debian related sites if the servers are too busy). Benjamin P.S.: Apart from this révue-stopper, the new version is a pleasure to use (at least for the 95% german in me ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
