Hi,

Since I've upgraded I can't create anymore accents by using a compose key (right windows key for me).
This problem seems to only appear in all GTK application (Iceweasel, icedove, dia,...).
Otherwise it works in a xterm, OOo and konqueror.

If I want to create a "é" normally I do : right-windows-key then ' then "e" but I get nothing with icedove for instance.
Or if I do right-windows-key then ' then "e" AND then "e" again. I get a reverse "e" like : "ə" :-)

I'm don't where this bug come from. It worked correctly before the upgrade to squeeze.
Before I was in testing as well but everything should have been close from a lenny actually. I didn't upgrade for a while.

Sorry I don't know what kind of information I can give you because I don't even know what's doing that :(

Cheers,
Thomas

reassign 538669 libgtk2.0-0
severity 538669 normal
thanks

Hey,

No problem, here’s a first idea:  Please start gedit, open the context
menu in the text editing area and choose the X input method from the
penultimate submenu.  Then try to compose some characters and add your
findings to this bugreport.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Gedit installed.
And as expected with X input it works I can do accents but _not_ with
"Simple" (default selection).

Hi Emilio,

Still the same. I get a 'ə' instead of 'é' (compose + ' + e + e). I'll
try tomorrow as well to see if a reboot changes something but I don't
think so.

Hi Emilio,
Sorry. What ? I don't understand the relation with this bug :)

I still have the problem despite a reboot

I've just retried. Still no accents.

I'm using a Debian testing. I upgraded libgtk2.0 to the one in stable
and even experimental. I'm running now 2.17.9-1 0 and I'm still not able
to get any accents with the compose key. But, remember, it works with X
or OOo for instance but not with GTK application. Bug tested with gedit.

Cheers,
Thomas

Fixed by itself since last upgrade. You can close this ticket.
