Comment 17 for bug 393057

Here using:

The steps to reproduce the issue changed.

However I can reproduce it this way:

Open KWrite, write "á" , works OK
Select "Encoding/Disabled", "'a" is written instead of "á"

You can minimize and restore the KWrite window and the accented characters will work OK again (??)

Also, if you not minimize/restore, you can launch the Save Dialog, and cancel it. So, even without really saving the file, Kwrite can write accented characters again (?)

Can it be a focus/shortcut/something problem?
