Comment 1 Michael Weghorn 2020-08-18 13:15:23 UTC
From how I understand it, that's not an issue on LibreOffice level, but further down the stack, s. e.g. KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103788 .

For me, it doesn't work for other KDE/Qt applications (like Kate) either, while it does work for Gtk applications (like Gedit).

Once a solution for KDE Plasma/Qt/... has been implemented, it should work "automatically" in LibreOffice with KDE integration as well.

As mentioned in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103788#c19, using some input method tool like IBus should make it possible to make it possible for now.

Hence, closing as RESOLVED NOTOURBUG.

In case I'm wrong and you know more more of how it's supposed to work, please reopen and add more information here.

Note it doesn't work e.g. with the "gen" VCL plugin either, i.e. when starting LO with environment variable SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen set.
