Description of problem: While using the Gnome OSK, you will notice the special characters will not react to button presses of the OSK. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Gedit
2. Using the OSK, press and hold a, e, i or o and release.
3. Click any of the Umlaut characters in the pop up.

Actual results: Nothing happens, special character is not inputted.
