OK, we must be exiting because ->isModifier() returns true. That means
that Qt::Key_unknown is being returned for your keypress. Is this true
(as in, have you proved this) ?
Now, this seems broken for Qt in the first place. But we have to work
with it.
What values are returned in text(), key(), and ascii(), for the press of
a-umlaut ?
It seems that the keypress is unknown, but the actual text produced
stored in text() is OK. Yes ?
So, can we not make this change :
bool QLyXKeySym::isModifier() const
{
- return q_is_modifier(key_);
+ return text_.empty() && q_is_modifier(key_);
}
?? A modifier should not have associated text.
If this change *alone* doesn't work, please explain why, with the values
of text(), key(), and ascii() at each step.
thanks
