search box won't accept accents (', `, ~) into the letters

[PresuntoRJ]

Binary package hint: unity-place-files

When I type a word in portugues (or most languages besides English) they sometimes contain an accented letter (~ + a = ã ; or ' + e = é , etc.) but when I type those inside the files or applications lens hoping to get the correct variation, it show the accent as a letter followed by the unmodified letter... and it wont get the correct results when searching

I confirm this issue on version 11.04 using pt_PT.UTF-8 locale and portuguese keyboard layout. In every other app I tried deadkeys work as expected, but on the search box the accent is printed straight away instead of waiting for another key press.
