I tested again and 1. Unity: still has the problem and cannot type dead keys in Dash/HUD input box 2. Unity 2D: is OK.
Therefore, if it works for you, specify whether it's Unity or Unity 2D. @Pander: Indeed GNOME (gtk+-based apps) use by default a slightly different set of dead keys from the dead keys you get from the X.Org dead keys. I was involved in this as a developer, and it's due to some legacy compose sequences that gtk+ used to have, and are still kept. However, the vast majority of compose sequences are the same. If you test with acute + a = รก, it's valid in both gtk+ and X.Org, therefore it can be used for general testing. @ykanello: As long as the encoding is *.UTF-8, then it should be fine. If you get the 'C' encoding, or some 8-bit encoding (iso-8859-1), then it's a problem. And you should write the steps to reproduce so that we can try them as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961741 Title: REGRESSION: can't type characters with accent (dead keys) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/961741/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
