Oliver, I have looked at Github, but there is no update in Pinta master branch. Is your code already merged into master branch?

I made bellow test on Pinta latest development on Ubuntu 12.04.
What I see using <AltGr>+some_key is that two buttons combinations works fine, so:
<AltGr>+e = €
<AltGr>+v= @
<AltGr>+w = |
etc.

But three key combinations are not working. In order to type in German umlauts in my keyboard I need to type:
<AltGr>+¨+a = ä
This tree key combination is typed in in the following way: press and hold <AltGr> and press ¨ key (at this moment no character is displayed in screen), then <AltGr> key can be released and press key a - after pressing a character ä is displayed.

This three key combination I can perfectly normally type in into following program: Gedit, Terminal, Firefox and LibreOffice Write and in all of this applications character ä can be typed in. The only application I am unable to type in is Pinta.

P.S. I have also made above test on Pinta v1.3 on Windows XP and there is the same problem as on Ubuntu. I have also tried to copy character from other application like LibreOffice Write and character is correctly pasted in Pinta. So the only problem I see now is characters can't be directly typed into Pinta using Text tool.
