Problem entering special characters in author's name

[Erik Lundin]

When adding a song for which the author doesn't exist in the database, it is possible to have the author added to the database on the fly. However, it is not possible to compose special characters using several keys in the edit box. For example, trying to enter "é" by pressing first "´" and then "e" gives "´e". The workaround is to go to the author database and edit the author.

Can you type é in other applications?

[Erik Lundin (erik-lundin)]

@Andreas

Yes, in other applications and even in other text boxes in OpenLP.

System: Xubuntu 12.10

I tried this myself, and it works: http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/580/bildschirmfoto300320131.png

What OS do you use?

I run xubuntu in my VM and it works fine :|

I just found that the phenomenon only is seen if there is already some character in the box and the suggest list is non-empty. If for example the list of authors contained only the item "Test", it would be possible to type "é" or "bést" but not "tést".

I think cannot reproduce this.

Confirmed in bzr 2524 (beta3)

This seems to be fixed in 2.4, when we switched to Qt5.
