Bug 38143

Hi,

I have moved to kubuntu 11.04 on amd64 and thus switched from openoffice to libreoffice 3.3.2.

I am using a French keyboard on a system configured to use English language by default. Outside of LibreOffice, all my accents works fine, e.g. é è ê ë.

In LibreOffice, satndard one-key accents (e.g. é è) work fine but the "composed" circumflex accents typed for example as ^+e (e.g. ê ë) don't. The result is simply the letter without accent.

I tried to circumvent the problem by using the more standard way of composing (compose-key+^+e) but this does not work on my system (in or outside of LibreOffice).

Right now I have to rely on the spell checker picking up the right work or copy and paste. Any fix or better workaround would be appreciated.

If this is of any help, I also tried installing openoffice.org-l10n-fr but this does not change the problem.

From a web search about my problem, I was not able to find any useful information.

Best regards,
Tom
