--- Comment #25 from Bas Roufs <[email protected]> ---
Hello Everybody.

At this dead keys problem, I stumble upon now. Ever since a few weeks, I work
at a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04 - along with KDE Plasma 5.6.5, installed
via the Kubuntu ppa backports. Dead keys work in all applications except
LibreOffice - version 5.1.4.2. I am using the keyboard "USA International". A
character like ä is no problem in most of the applications. They same applies
for e.g. the double quotation mark (") - the key that needs to be pressed first
in order to get ä. However, in Libreoffice in my configuration as summarised
here, signs like " and ä do not show up. I have similar problems with
characters like à, é, ë, ñ. č, etc. Also signs like `, ~ or ' do not show up in
Writer or any other Libreoffice application. It does not matter whether I work
in Dutch, English, Italian, French, German or whatever - the problem remains
the same - however, as I said, just in LibreOffice. 


The only workaround I have found so far is editing a text in another
application (Kate, BlueFish or whatever) and copy-pasting it into LibreOffice. 
The workaround mentioned in comment 6 does not work here. I DO manage to invoke
libreoffice from the command line -  "libreoffice" does end up in the following
sequence:

========================================

bas@Viaconsensus-transit:~$ unset XMODIFIERS && libreoffice &
[1] 5908
bas@Viaconsensus-transit:~$ W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated
W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments
W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments
X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8
  Major opcode: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
  Resource id:  0x7c02342


========================================

However, the problem is not being fixed like this. 

Variants like "libreoffice4.2" or "libreoffice5" do not produce any result.
On the other hand - the simple command line command "libreoffice", without
anything else, is already enough to invoke that application. During my main
working session of today, Tuesday 20 December 2016, I have done so by purpose.
Here is the report I get from this working session.

Does someone know any other fix or effective workaround, apart from copy-paste?

Yours.
