Hello. I've been having this issue in Calibre 1.30. My current OS is Ubuntu 12.10.
I can't type any accents when I'm trying to manage my library or find something... 'Til now I've just been ignoring it, but it has become quite annoying lately.
I have no idea why this happens, Calibre is the only program which refuses to let me use accents. (like "não, ênfase, áspero"). The weird thing is, whenever I copy and paste the word into the program it accepts them normally. Even when I config the system language to Portuguese, the program is perfectly spelled and accented.
Does any of you guys know what to do?
