Bug#905874: libreoffice: No input of accented characters through dead-key composition
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After reinstalling Debian 9.5 on my main workstation, accented characters in
would not appear in Writer when I used the dead keys on the "Spanish" keyboard
layout. Previously I had been using Debian 8 without any problems. I am using
KDE as GUI. The problem manifested also in Calc. Though other applications had
no problem.
On a secondary computer I upgraded from Debian 8 to Debian 9 with the standard
aplications in KDE. And here I observed the same problem of the accented
characters not showing up when composed with the dead keys.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
First I closed and restarted LibreOffice: Same problem.
Then I logged out and back in: Same problem.
Then I rebooted the whole system: Problem continues.
I added several other keyboard layouts, with no solution to the problem. Apart
from my normal "Spanish" layout, I tried the US-QWERTY and the German layouts.
I can insert the accented characters with the "Special Character" feature. But
when typing text, that is NOT a workable workaround.
* What was the outcome of this action?
No solution so far. So far all other aplications have no problem with dead-key-
composition.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Input the accented characters for different languages without having to do menu
and dialog acrobatics, instead of the standard dead-key-composition.
On researching the issue prior to making this report, I found this issue
reported on the DocumentFoundation Bugzilla as "Bug 112770" at
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112770>. But I am not
shure how to implement the solution from 6.0.0 to 5.2.7.2 for KDE5 on Debian 9.
