Public bug reported:

when a Lao character has both a vowel and a tone mark above the
consonant, the tone mark does not show.

consonant with vowel: ມື  with tone mark: ม้  with both (tone mark above
vowel) มื้

in gedit (as well as firefox and chrome!) the tone mark does not show if
there is no white space above the line.

a second bug in gedit is that if the consonant is on the last line then
cannot enter a vowel below the consonant, eg, ດູ.  when you type it,
only ດ appears.  if you create a line beneath the line, then can go back
and type in ດູ correctly.

do not think the problem with gedit.  if not, please let me know the
correct party.

this is a huge problem!! it is pretty much blocking used of Ubuntu in
the country of Laos except for die hard fans.
