Hello all,

I have just started using Leo after a couple of weeks. I got to it
after reading "Quotes from Leo’s Users" and it is a great software.
Congratulations on such a beautiful work of art. :)

Now the issue:
I am from Brazil and we have lots of words that end in the '-ção'
combination of letters - (a cedilla followed by a tilde-over-a
followed by another vowel). There are variations of this too.

The issue is this: I can type the said combination without any problem
in the body pane, but several times when I am typing 'fast' (i.e.
normal typing speed) the tilde doesn't get typed and I end up with '-
çao' instead of '-ção'.

These are the tests I have done so far (me and a friend, who is also
trying Leo and felt the same problem):

1) there are other accent marks (^ ´ ` ¨) in Portuguese, but we have
so far only noticed this problem with the tilde.
2)  If we slow down the typing then tilde gets typed okay. Typing at
normal speed (which I refer to as 'fast' typing) we get lots of
missing tildes.
3) Typing at this 'fast' speed does work in other software (e.g.
notepad++,notepad,office, emacs, etc.), so we believe it is not a
computer or keyboard issue, but rather something to do with Leo
specifically.
4)
(a) Is it really so annoying having to slow down typing a lil and get
the tilde right?
(b) Can't you live with that?Well,...(a) yes (b) nop.
Just kidding. As mentioned above, we have lots of words with this
combination in Portuguese. We won't stop using Leo because of that,
but it would be great if we could take a look into it and see what
could be causing this strange behaviour. :o)

I know you all have very important issues to deal with, but if someone
ever gets some spare time to give this issue some thoughts and perhaps
point some source code area we could look at, we truly appreciate the
help here in Brazil.

Cheers!

daniel
