[Using WebKit Qt from qt-snapshot from git] I have the Compose key mapped to RAlt to insert special characters; however, with builds from qt-snapshot, the key appears to be ignored in some input areas. For instance, the sequence "RAlt + a => e" produces "ae" instead of "æ". Sites which are "web 2.0" and have some mappings to shortcuts, such as meebo.com and Google Mail, seem to be affected; I cannot input special characters via the compose key in Meebo chats, nor when creating mails in Google Mail. This issue appeared intermittent with a previous WebKit Qt version [I am uncertain of the version included with Qt 4.4.3], but changing to a different tab and back in the browser temporarily fixed the issue. This no longer works.
This bug is quite old... I can't reproduce it on the trunk, it seems that it is fixed. What keyboard layout do you use? I tried pl layout (RAlt + a => ą) de layout (RAlt + a => æ) I'm closing this bug, as "works for me", but if problem still exists, please add a comment and I will reopen it.
