Summary: Dead keys (circumflex and umlaut) of some French
keyboard does not work.
Product: kde
Version: 4.7
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: serge.jadot at free.fr
Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3)
OS: Linux
Dead keys (circumflex and umlaut) of some French keyboard does not work. I use
a generic keyboard 99 keys, missing in the setup menu keyboards, and auto
detected as a 104-key.
The behavior is different depending on the application: it works correctly in
Firefox and Google Chrome, for example. In most KDE application, "ô" becomes "^
o". In some other applications it becomes "o" (libreOffice...). Yet xev returns
a correct information:
