2006-11-02 23:14:22 Bavu Eric description This bug is really annoying in KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu Edgy Eft (dist-upgraded from Dapper). The dead_circumflex and dead_diaeresis work in TTY terminals and in non-KDE applications (like matlab), but not in KDE applications. Instead of putting a dead circumflex, it displays a circumflex as an ASCII caracter : ^e instead of ê. I did not have this probleme with Dapper and KDE 3.5.5. I tried to change the xkb layouts and variants, but the dead_circumflex (and dead_diaeresis) never worked in any KDE app under Kubuntu Edgy. I finally disabled xkb management in the KDE Config Center.

This bug is really annoying in KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu Edgy Eft (dist-upgraded from Dapper). The dead_circumflex and dead_diaeresis work in TTY terminals and in non-KDE applications (like matlab or firefox), but not in any KDE application. Instead of putting a dead circumflex, it displays a circumflex as an ASCII caracter : ^e instead of ê. I did not have this probleme with Dapper and KDE 3.5.5. I tried to change the xkb layouts and variants, but the dead_circumflex (and dead_diaeresis) never worked in any KDE app under Kubuntu Edgy. I finally disabled xkb management in the KDE Config Center but not with more success ... Still this problem with dead_circumflex in KDE appps, which is a lot used in french ...

2008-11-26 03:30:54 Jonathan Thomas kdebase: statusexplanation I just have the exact same bug with the circumflex and the diaerisis within KDE applications. Everything was working fine with Kubuntu 7.10 and 8.04, but two days ago, there was an upgrade (including some Qt libs) and since, I have this problem. It appears to me that the upgrade changed something. I use English as my main language, but also regularly use Chinese and French. I'd like to keep english as my main locale. # cat /etc/environment PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (...) Is scim enabled? This sorta sounds like bug 173894.
