I'm having the problem described here in 13.04LTS. 
Writing a Google Drive text document I type an accented letter like á in a 
plain text, non styled, paragraph and nothing shows. 
This is a very annoying issue, because it's impossible to work productively. 
I can type accented letters in other parts of the document, usually in empty 
lines, but not always. Can't find a pattern.
This is a Lenovo T61 notebook with a Spanish LA keyboard. 
The procedure to enter the accented letter is to click the acute accent 
dead-key and then the to-be-accented letter. 
This procedure works everywhere else (like for example Gmail) but not in Ubuntu 
+ Google Drive. 
The problem doesn't show in Windows.

Title:
  javascript key events for diacritics generates 0 keycode on danish
  qwerty

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Discovery:
  I found this bug when trying to write "é" in the new google docs version (the 
"etherpad" version).
  When i type "é", the letter appears and the disappears instantly.
  This applies to "ë", "ê" and other as well.

  I reported this error to google docs, and tried to read the keycode
  for the key, as I guessed that this was a javascript error.

  I have used this page to test key codes:
  http://www.asquare.net/javascript/tests/KeyCode.html

  
  How to reproduce:
  Ubuntu Linux 10.04
  Firefox 3.6.3
  Danish QWERTY keyboard

  Go to:
  http://www.asquare.net/javascript/tests/KeyCode.html

  Press "`" one time:

  Expected behavior:
  See attached output:
  windows7_danish_qwerty_firefox3_jsevents.png

  Actual behavior:
  See attached output:
  ubuntu_danish_qwerty_firefox3_jsevents.png

  
  Notes:
  The output in chrome in linux is correct:
  ubuntu_danish_qwerty_chrome5_jsevents.png
  But the output in the Arora (from the reps) browser is the same as FF3
