Unable to type accented characters

Post by teemu »

In 0.15 it does not appear to be possible to write accented characters such as 'ä' and 'ö'. In 0.14 this was possible. This applies to all input boxes, such as train station names, search boxes and console input.

This is on Ubuntu 16.10. It is, however, possible to write the accented characters elsewhere and copy&paste them into Factorio.

Might be related to this bug report: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=46076 (unable to write Russian characters)

Both reports are on Ubuntu 16.10 and it's possible to copy-paste them in.

What language/locale are you playing the game with?

i'm playing with the Finnish language and locale, fi_FI.UTF-8. Indeed it looks like these two reports are of the same issue, I also cannot write Russian characters.

I seem to recall that there existed an issue relating to a lack of IME support.
