Can't use accents in text

[thiagochaves]

I tried to add an accented letter to a text, but the text input ignores the accent. Accented letters in portuguese: á, é, í, ó, ú, â, ê, ô, ã. None of these can be input in the text field, although we can past these letters there.

Confirmed, I'm so used to copy-paste that I didn't notice the issue. Thanks for the report :+1:

Actually, no. On Linux it works, are you using Windows?

It's the release builds it seems, my local build works fine. Probably something missing in Qt.

Linux Mint 21, using the "Friction-0.9.6.1-x86_64.AppImage".

Thanks.

I have identified the problem, it's with the included libxkbcommon library.

Workaround:

1. Extract the appimage: ./Friction-0.9.6.1-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
2. Remove libxkbcommon: rm squashfs-root/usr/lib/libxkbcommon*
3. Run from folder: cd squashfs-root && ./AppRun

Fixed, snapshot available: https://sourceforge.net/projects/friction/files/snapshots/0.9.6.2-575020b2/
