Support for accents on French keyboard
« on: July 18, 2021, 11:52:29 am »
The French user of CudaText wrote me this. I cannot fix and repeat it (no FR keyboard). Pls test it, on Lazarus IDE, if you can.

I will not post the bug-report because I cannot test/repro it.

Maybe it's about TCustomControl (eg TSynEdit), TMemo is native control.

Thanks for feedback, so the issue can appear only on some configurations.

Only important thing in this configuration is window manager. What's Qt lib version ? Does it use any IM module ?

User didn't tell the Qt5 version,
but he told the IM module: 'echo $QT_IM_MODULE` shown nothing.
He changed IM module to 'ibus' and issue was gone.

Can we fix this even on 'empty IM'?
