Can't enter accented characters in album names - but can paste them

Chris Green
I occasionally want to put accented characters into my album names,
for example I want to put the French town name Nérac in a name.

I can type the é just about anywhere (terminals, Firefox, etc.) using
the 'multi' key and typing e and '.  It doesn't work in digikam
though, can this be fixed?  I can paste an é into the digikam album
name but this is a bit clumsy.

This is digikam 1.2 on xubuntu.

Not reproducible there. KDE 4.4.4, digiKam 1.5.0 from svn trunk.

I'm French and i also use accentuate char of course.

How odd.

Ah, I've discovered the problem, for some reason in Digikam the order in
which the characters are typed is important!

If I type   <multi> e '   in Digikam I get nothing, however if I type
<multi> ' e   then I get an é.  Everywhere else it doesn't seem to matter
in what order I type the characters.

Anyway, I have a reasonable workaround now.  :-)

launch pop-up menu over album name field and look if there is a
vocabulary auto-correction option from KDE.

If I right click on the album name entry field (is that what you meant?)
I get a menu of options like 'Undo', 'Clear' and some others with
'Insert unicode control character' at the bottom - but no
auto-correction option.
