Package: scribus-ng Version: 1.3.4.dfsg-1 Severity: important As found upstream http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=1908 this affect 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 . I find that in debian kwrite 3.5.8 the problem does not exists (my desktop is mostly gnome so I cannot tell if it always worked or was fixed recently). As can be seen my settings are french . I cannot type any â, ï or alike.
Though I found a workaround. Typing them in scribus font selector or kwrite then pasting them (pasting the characters from a gtk/gnome application does not, probably another qt issue).
