Summary0001512: Impossibility to use french characters
DescriptionWhen entering "accentuated" characters, the characters available
by a single keypress (eg "é", "à", "è", etc.) are working fine
but "composite" characters (eg "^ e", which should give "ê") are
entered, Scribus crashes.

Before crashing, Scribus outputs the following on the console:

sending IMEnd with 1 chars to 0xa1c2378, text=ê
receiving IMEnd with 1 chars

This line does *not* appear when entering non-composite accentuated
character.

Then, if trying to select the "e circumflex" in the Story Editor,
Scribus crashes with Segfault / Signal 11. All the time.

gdb's bt included in "Additional Information".

Note that all other applications on this machine have no problem
handling those characters.


Steps To Reproduce1. Launch Scribus
2. Create a new document
3. Create a text form
4. Open the Story Editor.
5. Enter a "composite" french character (like the very common
"e circumflex" that appears in many french words)
6. Try to "update" the document : nothing appears on the screen
(although the "e circumflex" appears in the Story Editor).
7. Select, in the Story Editor, the "composite" character.

Instant crash.

Same bug with version 1.2.1 using the latests Fedora RPMs.

I also compiled the latest version from CVS (1.2.1) with debug enabled.

Then I reproduced the bug under gdb.

When I enter characters in the Story Editor, nothing suspiscious
shows up in the console.

But when I compose a "multi keys" character, then I can see something like:

sending IMEnd with 1 chars to 0x9c351c8, text=ê
receiving IMEnd with 1 chars
if I select that char (in the Story Editor), there's a segfault / signal 11

Note that if modify X Window System (stock x.org accompanying Fedora Core 3)
by assigning "ecircumflex" directly to a key, there's no crash (but if I
type on the key assigned to keycode "dead_diaeresis" then on "e", then try
to select that char, it segfaults).

I'm pretty sure this is exactly the same bug (the steps to reproduce are
identical) as bug 0001493 (the submitter is also using FC3 btw).

Here's a bt where I open the Story Editor, enter the dead key "^" followed
by an "e" (which results in an "ê" appearing in the Story Editor), then I try
to select (using the mouse) that "ê" and it segfaults.

Sorry I just realized that I duplicated this bug.
Only the *selection* of accentuated character makes Scribus crash.

If you do not see your accentuated character, that means your font does not support it. The default font on my system appears to be by default... Kochi Mincho Regula, which is a Japanese font which does not support accentuated characters. Yet you can set in your preferences, in the tool section, the default font. I chose Arial. Every text frame your create will be of the default font and you'll be able to see them.

Just don't select them for now.

No crash here at all. Please try 1.2.2cvs.

It does not work on 1.2.2cvs either (at least on my pc). See the screenshot attached.

Can you please try it with a Bitstream Charter or similarly regular font.

I cannot reproduce this on 1.2.2 CVS 14 Feb, 2005.
I have all my French accents.
Tried with many many fonts, including Bitsream Charter.

Have tried with current 1.2.2CVS and the same font and no error occurs. There have been a lot of updates recently and I'm quite convinced there is no more issue.
