    Description

      When typing using an international keyboard layout, if you press and hold any key, followed by an accent (~ ´ for example), then release both, the accent character is ignored.
      This is quite annoying for international layouts that extensively use accents, such as French or Portuguese. Many special characters are ignored by Qt when typing fast.

      Example:

      Press 's', then '', then release both. Then press 'a'. On a Brazilian Portuguese keyboard, the expected would be to print 'sã', but Qt displays 'sa'. The '' character is ignored.
      Other windows softwares such as Notepad displays 'sã'.
