** Description changed: - Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps. + Accented letters (dead keys) do not work if you install a complex + writing language Spanish layout uses a two-key press in order to write an accented letter - (i.e. you click ´ and then a in order to write á). + (i.e. you click ´ and then a in order to write á). Now I know these are + called dead keys. Steps to follow: - -Install Konqueror from the repositories (or download Opera from it's web) - -Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts and add "Spain". Click on Layout Options and enable a layout switching that works for you (standard is clicking both alts but that didn't work for me, so I chose clicking both shifts). - -Go to any application (e.g. gedit), switch to spanish layout, and write an accented letter, such as á. - -Go to Konqueror and try to do that, it will not let you, you will write ´a + -Install Ubuntu in a language with dead keys, such as spanish or french + -Add a complex writing language, such as japanese or chinese + -Now you cannot write á you will write ´a instead. It's like dead keys stop being dead - If you install complex writing (scim) and add spanish to it, you will be - able to write accented letters, as long as you use the scim - "Spanish/European" layout, and not the linux default. + Previously, if you installed complex writing (scim) and added spanish to + it, you were able to write accented letters, as long as you use the scim + "Spanish/European" layout, and not the linux default. Now even that + doesn't work - The first two comments were added before I found out this problem was - not scim related. + This seems to be the same bug as + http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=526
