I've been using the "English (Macintosh)" layout for a bit over 3 years now, without any issue until I upgraded my hardware a year ago. I don't see how that would be related, but as far as I can tell this still doesn't happen on the old computer. > What you're describing isn't exactly a Qt problem, but must be caused by some > other application.

I've suspected KDE's kglobalacceld but restarting that one doesn't make any difference. The only other global interference I can think of would come from the screensaver, possibly through the X server itself. I *think* the deadkey issue only happens after the screensaver has kicked in but am not 100% certain. Anyway, changing the screensaving engine from the one in KWin to xscreensaver didn't > If some > other application is playing tricks with your keyboard, it will affect the > deadkeys. I guess it'll be very nontrivial figuring out who might be responsible? FWIW, I have another keyboard issue which I realise could somehow be related because it too never occurred on my old notebook. It affects Konsole only, both the Qt4 and Qt5 versions. In this case I lose keyboard input completely (the paste menu action continues to work). That's either in a single tab or application wide; in the former case I can usually just clone the tab and keep working, in the latter case I have to restart the entire application. And this issue can strike at any moment; I've never been able to reproduce it at will or even figure out a pattern in what I was doing when it triggered. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
