            Bug ID: 315955
           Summary: Not able to enter "dot below" diacritics for Sanskrit
                    transliteration
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: faolan.baldwin at gmail.com

I have my keyboard set to "English US - AltGr International" in Ubuntu system
wide so that I can enter words from Latin, Sanskrit, and a slew of other
languages properly when needed. I noticed that for some reason every QT based
application (not just KDE) was not working with one particular diacritic that
is very common in Sanskrit: the "DOT BELOW" UNICODE characters. Instead the
keystroke ("AltGr + _") does not register and it just prints the next keystroke
as is.

Non-QT programs such as LibreOffice, Inkscape, and xterm do not have this
problem so I have isolated it to just QT applications. It is also not a display
error as a text file created in vim in xterm with will display the characters
in konsole, they just cannot be produced. I have tried enable the compose key
as well, which also does not work.

This is a pretty major problem because someone, somewhere (probably someone who
types transliterated Vietnamese) probably has this same problem because that
language also uses "DOT BELOW" diacritics as well.
