Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': --- BEGIN DESCRIPTION --- After installing Fedora 18, I've come across an odd problem with Emacs. I use a Canadian multilingual keyboard. With this keyboard it is possible to type the characters of every European language based on the Latin alphabet. Dead keys are very important, as they allow one to add frequently occurring accent marks to different letters. The physical layout is here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/KB_Canadian_Multilingual= _Standard_comment-fr.svg When I first ran Emacs after the installation, the dead keys that I commonly use in French or German were not working. Emacs would display an error like ' is undefined' when I pressed the dead key and the subsquent letter was printed without an accent. The Emacs Wiki provided a partial solution: the addition of the following line to one's .emacs. (require 'iso-transl) (Source: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DeadKeys) Now I deal a lot with central Europe, and this requires me to type words in languages like Czech or Polish. Interestingly enough, one can not enter common Czech or Polish accented characters like =C4=85, =C4=99, = =C5=BC, or =C5=BE, which require a dead key. This produces an error message like ' is undefined'. What doesn't require a dead key -- =C5=82 or =C5=81 for example, works. A further letter common to Polish produced with a dead accent, =C3=B3 or =C3=93, functions. This implies that the input of non-ISO-8859-1 characters with dead keys is somehow broken. Remember, I can type letters in French or German that require dead keys without a problem and the =C3=B3 or =C3=93 is also used i= n Spanish I believe -- all ISO-8859-1. Furthermore, opening files in Emacs that contain the problem characters, or copying text containing them into Emacs, functions normally. --- END DESCRIPTION --- If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
