Details

Description:

I am using KDE and systemsettings to configure the usage of the compose key to be able to write accented characters.
The configuration is working when I am using a Gtk application but with nothing else. It used to work fine but not anymore (not sure when the problem appeared).
If I am removing the configuration from systemsettings (configured on the caps lock touch) it is coming back to the normal
"caps lock" and I am getting a quote and an upper case, redoing the change put back the accents. That means that the configuration is working.

when using KDE plasma, it is working fine with:

- firefox
- google chrome
- nautilus
- gvim
- gnome terminal

Not working:

- kate
- xterm
- konsole
- libreoffice

When using Gnome shell:

It is working for the one which are working above and libreoffice but not the other one.

I am suspecting something related to Qt 5.12.1 but I am not sure. This is the change in libreoffice which suggest me that.

Thanks a lot for arch and the packqage.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

Qt: 5.12.1-1
Kate: 18.12.2-1
Plasma: 5.15.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.

What input methods are you using?

I am not sure to understand the question but I am using a keyboard and for exemple if I want to write:

é I am pressing <compose> ' e

On Gtk app it is working but not Qt's one.

Is this still an issue?

If es then do you use libinput driver or something else?
