Hi,
On Linux, when I want to search for a word with a letter containing a circumflex or an umlaut, only the unaccented letter is typed. Finding/replacing very common French words like "être" or "Noël" is only possible with Copy/Paste from another editor. Seems to happen with all French keyboard layouts.
I noticed that several months ago. Unsure whether this issue existed before, because I mostly used the Windows version.
Thanks.
