Bug Description
Binary package hint: scribus-ng
It is not possible to enter german umlaute in the version of scribus-ng that is shipped with feisty. The problem occures with all fonts that I tried. I have no problems loading a text with umlaute from a odt file or simply copy and paste it into scribus, but it is very annoying to do that all the time.

Almost exactly the same occurs with Catalanlocale and a Spanish keyboard. It is a problem present in several versions of Ubuntu and Debian. When trying to type composed characters e.g. "á", "ê", "ö"... I always get "'a", "^e", ""o"...
That means that I cannot use Scribus for texts in Catalan, Spanish, French, Esperanto, German, Italian.... I can of course type the text with a text editor and copy-and-paste it but that makes the program NOT USABLE.
I've already reported this bug to Scribus and Debian. There was a previous bug report. The same problem also occurs with Greek.
According Scribus, the program works fine. I've also read a bug report from a Gentoo user that stated that Scribus worked fine on Gentoo but when trying to install Scribus into his girlfriend's Ubuntu it didn't work properly.
The problem seems to come from a patched Qt-library used by Debian.
