    Description

      Hi there.

      This bug as been reported before in http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=225911&method=entry
      but is still not solved although it was promised to be solved in 4.5.3.

      This bug is replicable in Qt 4.6. Attached is the code example to prove it. The code is compiled using VS2008.

      Anyway, here is a recap of the bug report using Qt 4.3.4 with VS2005:

      The issue is that acute characters like é or í are unable to show on our
      Widgets properly. This can also be seen on the Qt's TextEdit in the simple
      example program attached, therefore, it may likely be something to do with Qt.
      Hence, the support call

      The description is, in general, on Norwegian keyboard, users produce acute
      characters like é or í by first pressing (AltGr plus the ´) then (no
      duration/interval the e key) on the keyboard. This is seen on
      800px-KB_Norway.svg.png. The ´ is the one next to backspace. Of course, you
      must set the keyboard to Norwegian (Bokmal) before you can do this.

      The act of producing characters is working as intended in Windows NotePad, etc.
      However, when it comes to our program and also Qt's example program, it does
      NOT. The first time when you start the program and proceed with AltGr plus the
      ´ then e, it produces é, which is correct. Subsequently, it only produces e
      which is wrong. Also, if you can type VERY quickly on the keyboard for AltGr +
      ´ then e, it produces é.

      Internally in the program the QKeyEvent for both e and é are the same except
      for the text it is represented is different when the desired behaviour shows.
