Public bug reported: Binary package hint: scim
If scim is being used, accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps. Spanish layout uses a two-key press in order to write an accented letter (i.e. you click ´ and then a in order to write á). I'm not sure if this is a scim related problem, or if its related to the window manager (gnome, kde...). Steps to follow: -Go to System->Administration->Language support. -Add Spanish (I also installed Japanese, but you probably do not need to install it to reproduce the error) -Enable 'Complex character writing' (you will probably have to reboot) -Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and make sure that you have Spanish(Spain) (I also installed greek, but you probably do not need to install it to reproduce the error) -Install some non-gnome application. Try for example Konqueror from the repositories, or download Opera from it's web. -Go to any non-gnome application and, using spanish layout, try to write any letter with any accent, such as á, it will write ´a. I reinstalled fresh again doing JUST these steps, and the problem happened again. All packages are up to date. scim 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 scim-anthy 1.2.4-1ubuntu2 scim-bridge-agent 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 scim-bridge-client-gtk 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 scim-gtk2-immodule 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 scim-modules-socket 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 ** Affects: scim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- scim enabled installation does not allow accented letters on non-gnome apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
