On researching the issue prior to making this report, I found this issue
reported on the DocumentFoundation Bugzilla as "Bug 112770" at
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112770>. But I am not
shure how to implement the solution from 6.0.0 to 5.2.7.2 for KDE5 on Debian 9.
Maybe install the 6.1.0 backport from stretch-backports? That one also
has a KDE5 integration other than that KDE4 thingy "working" with KDE5.
This will never be fixed in stable properly (until buster releases of
course with above new KDE5 integration)
I uninstalled the "stable" LibreOffice before installing the "backported"
LibreOffice with the Metapackage. After the instalation I rebooted the
computer.
The metapackage doesn't install the KDE integration.
But the same bug appears also in LibreOffice 6.1.0.2 (Build ID:
1:6.1.0~rc2-3~bpo9+1), Linux 4.9; UI render: defualt; VCL: x11.
^^^^^^^^
And with the KDE integration actually installed? That would just leave
the non-integrated LO affected only.
Thank you, I did not catch that omission. After installing the
KDE-integration, the dead keys work as advertised. And in the
Help->About dialog it now reads: "VCL: gtk3_kde5"
I also did a clean install of Debian 9 (new partition tables). The basic
KDE system for a clean/new installation worked without a problem. The
Help->About dialog of LibreOffice reads: version 5.2.7.2 (Build ID:
1:5.2.7-1+deb9u4); VCL: kde4
The other new install with this bug had the "/home" partition mounted
from the previous installation of Debian 8. So, maybe there was some
problem with the upgrade.
It seems that I have now been able to resolve this problem to my
satisfaction. Thank you.
