Accents in spanish characters not displaying properly in composer

[brettgerry]

Ex. The following sentence: árbol para por qué es árbol miércoles es hoy para ver sí tengo suérte.

In the composer results in:

It works on my machine --- Yosemite with the french locale. @brettgerry do you know the user's locale?

[xedef]

Confirmed in the US locale (⌥ + e and then the vowel to put the accent on )

Same bug here, writing in Portuguese.

I am using "U.S. Internacional - PC" as Keyboard layout.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources > +

Same bug with "El Capitan". Using US International. When I press ⌥ + e it only writes the ´ and then, when I press the letter, it writes the letter with the accent. For me, it only happens when the previous letter is a vowel. For example: a´é

[lucasfs7]

same for me for pt-BR using "U.S. Internacional - PC"

I confirm it happens in Yosemite too.

If the Input source (keyboard layout) is in English and you use keyboard combination ti produce the accented character like @fameal said, it fails when accented character is preceded by a vowel. If Input Source is Spanish, it fails either way:

written with english layout:
préstame atenci´ón

written with spanish layout:
pr´éstame atenci´ón

Same for me. I am using El Capitan 10.11.1 using an Spanish (Spain) keyboard, region set to Spanish -Spain and input source "Español - ISO"

This has been fixed in c2ce51a and will go out in the next stable release (0.3.24).

The issue was due to the composer not properly handling composition events. We now treat the full composition lifecycle as a single atomic edit operation.

This issue was related to a variety of other issues including: #62, #384, #332, #89, #211
