Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libqt3-mt
Dead keys are not working with Qt applications. This applies to both qt3
and qt4 based applications.
How to reproduce:
Use a keymap with dead keys, for example via
'setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl'
When pressing ' followed by o the result shoult now be a รณ, when
pressing " followed by space, the result should be a ", etc.
But in Qt apps (for example konsole) ' followed by o gives an o, '
followed by space results in a space. The dead keys are truly dead and
can not be used to composite characters.
In KDE lineedit widgets, when I choose from the context-menu "Select Input
Method" -> "Simple Composing Input Method" (the default is XIM), the dead keys
are working as expected, but only inside KDE's lineedit widgets but not in
other areas like for example konsole.
GTK+ based applications don't show this behaviour. There dead keys work
as expected.
This is on current Edgy. It's a regression from Dapper, where dead keys
were working out of the box.
