I am a maintainer of a console kbd package, not a X11 or Qt. Reassigning. By the way, I seen a similar bug (but different) in chrome: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1081956 But it surely has a different source, as it has a different reproduction. I was never able to debug it, but it seems to be away now. Still observing the issue. It had been quite a while without having it, but now it happened again with Kate. Restarted Kate fixed it (as I mentioned, that is usually the case when it only happens in Kate, for whatever reason). And again, in the last couple of days I have observed this issue a few times. Now this, not sure if it's the same bug or not: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443977 I haven't observed this in a long time. I assume this has been fixed. |
On Spanish keyboards (among others, I guess), you type accented characters such as "à" or "ö" by hitting the key for the accent ("`" or "¨" in the examples above) followed by the letter. This normally works in all applications that I've ever tried in OpenSUSE. Starting recently, it sometimes randomly happens that this suddenly stops working in some applications but not others. When this happens, hitting the accent key followed by a letter results in just the plain unaccented letter. For example, "`"+"e" results in "e" instead of "è". Until today (and since it started happening a few days ago), I had only seen this in Kate. It would stop working in Kate while still working in other applications (usually I would try Chrome) and more importantly, it would get fixed by restarting Kate. Today it happened once more but it also started failing in Konsole and Telegram Desktop. This time, restarting any of the affected application would NOT fix that application. And even restarting all the apparently affected applications didn't. Rebooting did. I reported this to KDE because initially I was observing it only in Kate but they told me: """" Looks like the Qt key composition is broken for you. That would explain why this fails for Qt applications (Telegram Desktop is Qt based, too). I would propose to report this upstream to openSUSE. This seems to be no KDE/Kate specific issue.
