[Solved]Characters " and ' not displayed correctly

#1

Hi all, I have just installed SublimeText3 free version and I have a problem: I can’t write " an ' characters. I use English (UK, international with dead keys) keyboard layout on my ubuntu OS. So for write " to type shift + 2 + space. If I type shift + 2 + 2 i get ¨. On ST3 I get ¨ as soon as I type shift+2. Same thing for ' character. I set UTF-* encoding on SB3 preferences but not works. How can I solve?

Run sublime.log_input(True); sublime.log_commands(True) in the console (View > Show Console). Then perform a few key presses and paste the output of the console here, as well as describing the keys you pressed.

seems like others have reported the same thing (albeit for a US keyboard layout) here:

I didn’t know what dead keys were before, but this seems like a handy guide, in case others are interested:

Hi, now seems that all works good. Maybe some updates solved the issue! Ubuntu Mate 16.04 with ST build 3126!

@linofex FYI you can now accept answers and / or mark topics (= issues?) as solved as the forum has been updated to a new version.
