In response to E.S. Rosenberg's post, here are the locale variables on my Mageia 5 and Raspberry PI. Although there are differences, I don't see the problem. The main difference is that Mageia is set to en_US.UTF-8 and the PI to en_GB.UTF-8.
There are also differences in variables defining numeric, paper and others, but they don't seen to be variables that would cause my text input problem. MAGEIA 5 locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_NAME=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_ALL= RASPBERRY PI locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL= On Sun, 14 Feb 2016 11:28:52 +0200 "E.S.
