Dead keys don't work in some text fields

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you have a webpage rendering issue (aka bug in QtWebKit) it should be filed 
on 
bugs.webkit.org.  If you are unsure you can file it here and we will let you 
know.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a page with a large text input field, for example, the new message 
composing 
page in GMail
2. Try to write á

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It is expected to write á, but instead it's writing 'a (the accent is written 
immediatly instead 
of waiting for the next key)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Arora 0.6 with QT 4.5.0 on Kubuntu Intrepid. Spanish keyboard.

Please provide any additional information below.

It doesn't happen in all text fields but for example, I get it always in GMail 
when I'm 
composing a new mail. There are other pages that I get it too.
This bug is not exclusive of Arora and may be related to QT 4. I get it also in 
Kopete:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174451

But not always. It seems to be a little random. It works on some text boxes and 
doesn't 
work in others. It even varies sometimes in the same text box and may work 
correctly 
sometimes and stop working later.

I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty and I've got the same problems with accents, with both 
version 0.5 (in the 
official repository) and 0.6 (precompiled .deb and even one downloaded from git 
compiled on my 
computer). Using Qt 4.5 from Ubuntu Jaunty repository and a Spanish keyboard.

But in my case accents don't work on any text box (including the address bar 
and the search box).

Maybe it's a Qt 4.5 or KDE problem. Konqueror and Kate (text editor) have also 
got
the same problem.

Where should we file the bug?

For me Konqueror and Kate work without problems, but Arora doesn't.

Happens in gentoo with Arora 0.6-r1 and qt-webkit-4.4.2-r1 in the GMail "quick 
reply" text area as well. When I try to do something like Compose ^ e, I get ^e 
instead of ê. I can also confirm that it is random - 
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

For me the problem disappears in version 0.8.0

II have the same problem. I'm using Arora 0.11.0 and Qt 4.6.3. The keyboard is 
ABNT-2.

Tested on Gmail, YouTube and the location bar.

´a  `a ^a ~a

and so on.

I guess I spoke too son. I tried with qtconfig, and the same happens. I'll file 
a Qt bug report, if it's the case. As I'm using the kde-qt-4.6.3-patched 
branch, I'll investigate further.

export LANG=pt_BR
export LANG=pt_BR.iso88591
export LANG=pt_BR.utf8

OK, in my case I was using the first. The second also doesn't work with Qt, but 
the third does the trick.
