Title:
REGRESSION: can't type characters with accent (dead keys)
Status in Nux:
Fix Released
Status in Unity:
Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Affects Unity 5.6.0. Also affects 5.8.0-0ubuntu2.
Characters that are produced using dead keys cannot be typed well on
neither Dash, nor Lenses. Specifically, if you hit twice a dead key,
then Dash/Lens get "desyncronised" and do not accept any more dead
keys (they print the accent at once when you press the dead key).
Such characters exist for Latin scripts (like á, à, é, í, ó, ú, ã, õ,
ñ, ü), Greek (ά έ ή ί ό ύ ώ ΐ ) and Cyrillic.
How to reproduce:
1. With a keyboard layout that can produce characters with dead keys, open
Dash
For example, the US (US International with dead keys) keyboard layout.
2. Type á (' + a = á)
What happens:
When you open the Dash/Lens and you press a dead key combination, it works.
If you press twice the dead key (by accident), then you cannot enter anymore
characters composed from dead keys. You need to press Esc and bring back again
Dash/Lens for it to work.
Additionally, if your keyboard layout requires "AltGr + somekey" for
your dead key, (probably) the existence of AltGr messes up Dash/Lens
and you cannot enter dead keys at all. That is the case for Greek
where we cannot type deadkeys at all.
What should happen:
The accent should not be drawn when you press the dead key. It should
wait the next letter (e.g. press 'AltGr + ;' and press 'a' should give
'á')
