accent problems with KWord and Kdissert

[cymbaloum]

Hello,

 

I have problems with Kword and Kdissert in my mandriva 2006 install:

 

Whereas with Kate I can type accented characters such as é or õ, this is not possible with Kdissert and KWord.

 

With KWord I found out that changing the spelling dictionaries to a language with accents I could get accents. The problem is that if I close and start again Kword, the capacity to type accents is lost. To recover it I just need to change again those dictionaries (even if the first was already from an accented language). A bit painfull to have to do this trick everytime I open KWord.

 

As for KDissert, I had absolutely no luck. It looks that accented characters are chinese to this application.

 

What really gets me is that Kate and Kspread have absolutely no problem!
