Bug ID: 151843
Summary: Writer not reading polytonic Greek characters from
keyboard properly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.2.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: kyri...@alumni.princeton.edu
Description:
Under Linux/KDE Plasma, the Greek keyboard laytout provides the ability to
enter Greek polytonic characters, using special dead keys. E.g., to enter ἔ
(epsilon-psile-oxeia), one can type "right alt-shift-; ; e" (psile, oxeia,
epsilon) or "; right alt-shift ; e" (oxeia, psile, epsilon). Writer, however,
only recognizes the latter combination.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the "Greek" keyboard layout (not "Greek (polytonic)") under KDE
Plasma.
2.Switch to it.
3.Type right alt-shift-; ; e in Writer.
Actual Results:
The character ε appears.
Expected Results:
The character ἔ should appear.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 40(Build:3)
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: el-GR (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
The problem does not appear in calc.
If I paste the character from another application, it appears correctly, so
this is not a font problem.
I believe that this is a relatively recent regression, as I edited a polytonic
Greek text about a year ago, and didn't notice any problems. The sequence
oxeia-psile is very unnatural to me, so I am sure I would have noticed if only
that one worked.
