Hi, There has been a discussion about a bug (Scribus or Qt?); "when you type accented characters [directly into a text frame], like ?, ?, ?, what you get is 'a, `a, ^a, and so on..." while entering the same into Story Editor the letters come OK.
I've seen this in recent Ubuntu-ng packages as well in Opensuse 11.2 (Scribus 1.3.5.1, BuildID: C-C-T-F-C1.8.8, QT: 4.5.3). Has there been any solution to this 'problem' ? (It's not really a 'problem' using story editor for an experienced Scribus user, the problem is that a friend of mine is lobbying for use of Scribus in a technical college; the bug is more of a 30-seconds-threshold for the ID-guys working there). I found some correspondance linked to this behaviour: <http://lists.scribus.info/pipermail/scribus/2009-April/033427.html> as a reply to <http://lists.scribus.info/pipermail/scribus/2009-April/033425.html> Any solutions?

When you type accented characters, like ?, ?, ?, > what you get is 'a, `a, ^a, and so on... I cannot get it working, That is definitely not the behaviour I see. When I follow those instructions, I get exactly what I would expect. Doc ------------- and then the preceding mail: ------------- On 04/27/2009 01:02 PM, Gregory Pittman wrote: > Markus W.
