Description of problem: When trying to produce characters like ^, ~ using dead key sequences doesn't work in any tried Qt application. (programs like konsole, kwrite, etc) Dead keys work normally in gtk applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.3-2.fc23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Focus cursor to any Qt application text input 2. Press umlaut key 3. Press space Actual results: *Nothing* Expected results: " - character Additional info: By doing additional research this problem seems to have something to do with xorg locales: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-28183 I'm using "en_DK.utf8" locale which was selected during the fedora 23 installation. It seems that the redirection "en_DK.utf8" -> "en_DK.UTF-8" is missing from the locale.alias file. Alias file is located in "/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias" which again points points to libX11. Adding a line "en_DK.utf8 en_DK.UTF-8" to the "/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias" fixes the issue and now dead keys work in Qt applications as supposed to.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
