[Konsole-devel] Bug#44020: konsole fails to handle double-quotes

[miguel at rozsas.xx.nom.br]

Package: konsole
Version: 1.1 (using KDE 3.0.0 -10)
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 7.2.93
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4custom
OS/Compiler notes: 

With us intl keyboard and dead-keys enabled, konsole fails to handle the double-quote char, used primarily to avoid shell expansion (ls ¨dir with spaces¨) and to generated some intl chars (ü, ë, etc - sequence to be typed: double-quote and vowel)

Typing twice the double-quote key (or double-quote space bar) must return a single double-quote to command line. this works in any other KDE application and non-kde applicatioons too, like staroffice, openoffice, gnome, etc...

In konsole, typing twice the double-quote key returns nothing. Typing twice a single-quote(') or a back-quote(`) return the chars as expected.

The sequence key-space is valid too: single-quote and space bar return ('), back-quote and space return (`), tilde-space return (~) and caret-space returns (^) as expected.

Typing twice a tilde (~) or a caret (^) returns nothing (another bug). 

summary:

single-quote twice: ok
back-quote twice: ok
tilde twice: not working
caret twice: not working
double-quote twice: not working

single-quote space: ok
back-quote space: ok
tilde space: ok
caret space: ok
double-quote space: not working

This bug is critical because we can't use the double-quotes to avoid the shell expansion on command line.
