    Description

      I've installed Qt Creator 4.2.1 on my Xubuntu 16.04 machine and I find myself unable of typing double and single quotes inside the editor.

      I've fiddled around with keyboard, language and locale settings but nothing seems to fix my problem. At the same time I don't have this problem with the Qt Creator v3.5.1. that I have installed alongside coming from the Xubuntu repository.

      My keyboard is set to Generic 105-key (Intl) PC with the layout set to English (US, international with dead keys).

      `locale` outputs the following:

      LANG=en_US.UTF-8
      LANGUAGE=en_US
      LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
      LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
      LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
      LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
      LC_ALL=

      Any help will be appreciated! Until then I continue to work with the 3.5.1 version.

       

      Update (11/07/2017):

      As of versions 5.9.0 and 5.9.1 I still run in to the exact same issue.

      I've done some additional tests. I've built Qt 5.9.1 and QtCreator myself and happen to run into the exact same situation. I've done this little experiment in a clean VirtualBox Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit environment. I'm now fairly confident that it should be quite easy (however time consuming) to reproduce.

      Below I added some logging:
