Bug Description
Binary package hint: texlive-xetex
If using "\=" and "\^" commands for accents after which later in the word comes "-" with "xelatex" run, characters between accents and "-" are repeated twice, so, e.g., if entered this: "Uj\=unul-eser" one gets this as a result: "Ujûnul-nul-eser" instead of "Ujûnul-eser". Jonathan said that this was a bug that was fixed around August 20, 2007, but it seems that it is still present in Hardy version of texlive-xetex. Choice of font doesn't influence the result, it is same for .otf, .ttf, pfb. Plain LaTeX hasn't this problem.
This happens on:
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron final, 64bit
texlive 2007 from Hardy's main repo
package texlive-xetex 2007.dfsg.1-2.
On Gutsy this problem didn't happen. Also, texlive-xetex 2007.dfsg.1-3 from Debian Sid doesn't have this problem.
Here is sample code for "xelatex" run:
\documentclass[
\usepackage[
\usepackage{
\usepackage[
\defaultfontfea
\setmainfont{URW Palladio L}
\begin{document}
Uj\=unul-eser
\end{document}

So in time that will be fixed in Ubuntu by including the new binaries.
