Picture of Umlaute-Problem

I recognized a strange error in writer.
When I type my first name (Jörg), directly after starting writer, the programm types "öJrg" - seems there is a "problem" with german Umlaute, the "ö" is printed first, although i type it after the "J".
This only happenes if an Umlaut (Ä,Ö,Ü) is the second letter i type. And only, after the program was started freshly and i created a new textfile.
Must be an error deep in the code - Open Office (even the old versions before Apache Open Office) behave the same way...

Can not confirm on

Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 09f83e1f409853a6c6e4300287c4e50bad5b9d0b
Locale: fr_

with Azerty Mac bluetooth keyboard, but this probably requires a German locale and German keyboard to reproduce, as my umlauts are combinations of the ¨ key plus a/e/o/u.
Comment 2 A (Andy) 2015-04-02 20:57:30 UTC
For me not reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2, Win 8.1
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2015-04-11 09:43:04 UTC
Which version of OS X?
It sounds somehow specific to your system as even OpenOffice exhibits the same behavior.

Maybe you could still try this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User_Profile#Resolving_corruption_in_the_user_profile

And also try with the latest version of LibO, 4.4.2.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided more information & results.

Crash Report

Just tried it... sorry, still the same problem.

found out something more:
I must write my name (Jörg) quite quick. Typing slow makes the error not to appear.

when i try to reproduce the error with other umlauts i recognized something strange - the error appears also with "ä" and "ü" (wanting to type "Jürg" becomes "Üjrg"; "Järg" becomes "Äjrg").
When I use the "ß" (wanting to type "Jßrg") LO crashes....
I think i can see, how the letters a changes (from Jßrg to ßjrg), then the program crashes.
Maybe thats a hint... ?!?
Comment 8 Joerg Brunsmann 2015-04-13 20:56:53 UTC
and another import detail: LO crashes only, when I quickly type space or type the return key after "Jßrg".
Could this be a hint for problem in the spell checker or the Auto-Correct-feature??

Could not be verified and no additional info was given.
Comment 11 Peter Chastain 2016-04-18 11:40:08 UTC
I can confirm this bug is present in both current and master.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set keyboard to German layout "System Preferences->Keyboard->Input Sources->Add(+)".
2) Launch LibreOffice.
3) Click "Create: Writer Document".
4) Quickly type at least 2 characters with the 2nd being an umlaut-accented character.
The accented character will appear first, not second.

This only occurs with a newly-launched app and new Writer document. I've tested against other OS X text editor apps (TextEdit, CotEditor) without error; this bug appears exclusive to LO.
