[PyKDE] Umlauts in Qscintilla in UTF-8 mode

[Martin v. Löwis]

I'm operating QScintilla in UTF-8 mode like this:

import sys
from qt import *
from qtext import QextScintilla


a = QApplication(sys.argv)

s = QString(u"\u20acHello world!\u0416")

hello = QextScintilla()
hello.setText(s)

a.setMainWidget(hello)
hello.show()
a.exec_loop()

Displaying the string works fine, and so does most of typing.

However, when I type accented characters (äöü), instead of inserting
them, Scintilla performs seemingly random cursor movements. Can
anybody reproduce this? Is there a cure?

This is all on Linux, with qscintilla and PyQt 20021122.

Regards,
Martin
