Hi Daniel, I experienced the same when trying to write "ó": after numerous trials, LyX eventually outputs the correct accented letter, but at the expense of repeatedly hitting keys, sometimes simultaneously. This is truely annoying I admit. Yannick

However, in the case of writing accents (dead key in a Spanish keyboard), Lyx ignores the accent. Other programs behave correctly, and they write the accents. So, in order to reproduce the bug in Lyx, you can do the following in a document: Press N key Press accent key (´) Release N key Press A key Release accent key Release A key The output in Lyx is: na The output in other programs is: ná I've checked that the problem occurs in LyX 1.6.6 and 1.6.5 in Windows XP (32 and 64 bits). This problem in very annoying, because you skip lots of accents when you write fast. Many thanks in advance, Daniel
