Works with LibO 3,5rc1 Win7 x64 Still not fixed in 3.4.5, downloaded today from libreoffice webpage. The host is the same, the operating system is the same. Anyway, Windows 7 != Linux. Both operating systems have different behavior. It may work in windows, but it does not work in my Debian setup. LibreOffice Version: LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:502) @ eseesehache@yahoo.es And if copy-paste á and í in fullscreen mode? This problem appears? (this important for reproduce this problem because not all testers know how type these letters) The problem only appears when I type the character using the keyboard. If i copy 'á' and paste it, it goes fine, but if i try to write it using the keyboard, i get the unaccented version. Thanks for your attention. I will try add Spanish keyboard to my keyboards and type. Please, explain how type accented characters. Which English letters are on those buttons, which key bindings I should press. PS: Please, try detach external monitor, reboot and see if this problem present. I don't have an US keyboard so I can't guarantee, but I tried the following tutorial and it seemed to work: http://spanish.about.com/od/writtenspanish/a/dia_ubuntu.htm And yes, it seems that it *works* if I detach the second display and reboot with only internal display. But when I enable again the second display, the bug re-appears. Thanks. More details: If I had two monitors enabled (and the bug was triggered as expected) but I - Close writer - Disable the 2nd display *without rebooting nor restarting X11* - Open writer and go full-screen again The bug does not appear. It only has one monitor enabled, as I told previously. More: Based on the last point (LO is operating with only one display): - Go to full screen - Type my accented characters, all goes fine - Return to window mode - WITHOUT closing writer, I enable the second display - Go to full screen again, the bug re-appears. More: Based on the last point (LO is operating with two displays, bug triggered): - Go to window mode - WITHOUT closing writer, I disable the second display - The bug is still here, although I am only using one display. I expect that information helps. @ eseesehache Thanks for information. Now let ask expert. @ Lubos Please, take look at this problem. Problem is with dual screen. This is a very old bug. eseesehache, is this still happening with the latest LO 4.1.x releases? I upgraded that computer from Debian Squeeze + GNOME 2 to Ubuntu 12.04 + MATE and cannot reproduce the bug. After testing multiple configurations, I can write accented characters in full screen and window mode. Versions of LibreOffice tested: - 3.5.7.2 (From Ubuntu repos) - 4.1.1.2 (Downloaded today from LibreOffice's webpage) Thank you anyways, it's great that the bug does not appear anymore. Thanks for testing and updating this bug. Should it re-appear you can re-open this bug. Glad things are working now. |
Problem description: When I go to full-screen (Ctrl + Shift + j) and try to write some accented character like 'á' or 'í' i only get its un-accented version, as 'a' or 'i'. If i exit full screen mode, this behavior still persists, and I must restart writer to make it work again. I can write accented characters if I don't go to full screen. This is *alaways* reproducible in my netbook, and not having full screen posibbility is very annoying since i have a tiny screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Writer, it shows a blank document 2. Switch to full screen 3. Try to write an accented character (eg. 'á'). Current behavior: It doesn't write an accented character ('a' is shown instead of 'á') Expected behavior: It should write the accented version. Platform: - LibreOffice from upstream Debs - Spanish keyboard - Debian Squeeze, GNOME Desktop, Two monitors (internal LVDS 1024*600, external 1024*768) - System and keyboard both configured as spanish from Spain Thank you.
