Skrooge Greek accented characters

Sat Oct 08, 2016 12:00 pm
I cannot enter Greek accented characters in Skrooge (eg for a new transaction, in the name of the payee).
I have filed a bug report. Has anyone any ideas for a workaround?

Hi,

I did it without issue.

I am not greek, so I don't know how to enter this kind of letter on my keyboard.
I did it by copy paste from wikipedia.

I can also Copy/Paste from the clipboard, and in fact it's what I've been doing for some fields. But I cannot write into a Payee field (or any other field for that matter) any Greek characters, if they are accented.

FYI, I just realized that I have the problem with Korganizer, too. If I try to write something in a calendar entry that has accented Greek characters, I can copy-paste them, but I cannot type them in. There's a dead key first, and then the letter. If I press the dead key and space, I get a symbol repsresenting the accent mark. If I press the dead key and then the intended character, I get nothing at all, as if I didn't t type anything.

Here's the bug:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356214

It's KDE specific. In Arch the problem perisists, though in Neon and Mint it's corrected.
