Hi Román I didn't know those were called "dead keys". I've read about dead keys before, but never knew what exactly they were ;-)
I rerolled to kubuntu on my main computer, but since I have special interest in this issue, and I'm very happy with you trying to figure this out, I just installed a new Ubuntu64 VM from scratch. These were the steps taken and their results: 1) Clean installation in spanish 2) Updated everything and rebooted 3) Opened up a gnome app and tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine, as it always did (these things must be tested just in case) 4) Installed kate, a KDE application and tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine! It just didn't before, it would write ´A. 5) Installed amsn, a TCL application and tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine! It just didn't before, it would write A. 6) Downloaded skype from the web and installed it; I don't even know what it uses. It worked fine! It just didn't before, it would write ´A. 7) After reading your link, I decided I would open up openoffice writer. Tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine, as it always did (these things must be tested just in case) 8) Being completely amazed at this, I went to a workmate's pc that still uses Ubuntu64 and had this problem as well. Kate worked. I guess it must have been fixed in some update since my last post. I'll use the oportunity to try KDE. So far I like it, even though it's so different that I have to relearn even the most basic things. One last thing, I tried to do this: # ps axu | grep -i ibus And found no ibus process running. Is this normal? -- Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
