Can you do the following? 1) open a terminal 2) type 'gkb_xmmap de' 3) type '/usr/bin/oowriter' 4) hit the 'ö' key (US keyboard's ';' character) Can you still not see the umlaut? I cannot reproduce this on FC3 using this procedure... Also, are you running any input servers, like iiimf/htt/Canna/FreeWnn? (I can't reproduce by going to the Keyboard preference applet and making a German Basic layout the current layout either...) Thanks for the hint, but after I have re-installed everything from scratch, switching back to FC3T2, I experience the very same problems now with a former working installation basis. Heck, I should have waited prior re-installing and read your ingenous and valuable hint reg. additional input servers. That did the trick, I just disabled kanna and iiim and now it works as expected. I think we can close this bug but should nonetheless keep in mind that Openoffice has problems with additional input servers, okay? Now that I have so much excercise with it, I will continue re-installing FC3T3 ... ,-) and de-escalete it again to "absolut stressfrei" Well, its really a bug since it should work fine with input servers running int he background, I couldn't reproduce this with them running though. Did you just start them up? What was the value of your GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable? I'd like to figure this out so I can reproduce it. Well, the services (canna etc.) are started during the startup process. I just restarted the system and forgot to disable the services from the respective runlevels and the problem persists. I will now remove them from the respective runlevels in order to get OOo working again, besides I do not really need these services ;-) Note that I also reported the bug to the openoffice bug-tracker, so that they also may have a look at the problem, and, as it only exists in openoffice so far, I presume that it is more like their responsibility rather than anyone else's, or so... The environment variable you are talking about does not exist on my system - however I am just running KDE and that does not necessarily rely on the GIMP toolkit. I reproduce it on FC3 (fully updated). I would say that all this is UTF-8 realted, cf also #132541. When I tried de_DE.iso88591 it worked well. Only seems to be the problem KDE. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138618 *** close as duplicate |
