Thanks for reporting this.

I cannot reproduce this and would like to see another confirmation by a second
user...

For future reference please always provide exact steps:
Settings > Text Input > Hardware keyboard layout.

I can only guess here that you talk about "Soumi, Svenska" and not "Dansk,
Norsk" as the latter languages have an Ø instead of an Ö.

This works fine here in 2.2009.46-16 in the "New event > Title" text input
field. It's unclear to me where exactly this is not shown for you.

> REPRODUCIBILITY: (always/sometimes/once)

Please always fill this in.

Does this only happen in Calendar, or also in other applications?

suomi / svenska, yes.

example: when in the calendar i type "åbo", a new event is created but in the
new event title only "bo" is shown. "köp" becomes "kp", but if i type k, wait
for the event to be created, then type ö, it works. "abo" would of course
produce "abo" regardless of typing speed.

reproducibility: always

dashboard typing to search for particular contact: ok.
media player music section: ok.

I can reproduce this on 1.2009.42-11 (note to self: å is on ",", ö on "." and ä
on the up arrow key on the en/nl model) and also for example with "Italiano"
layout and the same keys and even with "English, Nederlands" layout and the £/€
currency keys.

Worse: with Russian layout, the key presses entered before the "New event"
dialog is up (and even a bit after if typing very quickly) produce latin
characters instead.  This one is also reproducible in the home screen (contact
search) but not in media player so it may be a separate bug but it's at least
related.

The "type quick" factor and non-reproducibility on 46-16 could mean bug 5972
may also be related.

I *assume* that this has been fixed in the meantime as I cannot reproduce this
with a newer internal version, but I cannot find any internal ticket for
Calendar about this when searching for ({umlaut | character | letter})...

Can you please try this and post your result:

1. Set Settings > Text input > Keyboard layout == Danish/Norwegian.
2. Open notes.
3. Choose font MHeiGB18030C-Medium.
4. Try to type the letter ø using the hardware keyboard.

I wonder if it is related. (Note to myself: int-146820)

instead of "ø" i get "?", but with shift pressed i get "ø" capitalized.

Please mark as FIXED.

Definitely not fixed in 2.2009.51-1, everything is still as described in the
original report and comment 4.

Such comments are unhelpful. Explain why, what you did, what your settings are,
in which version. Thanks :)

I've run into this bug too, the swedish word "Överraskning" means surprise and
that's what I got when the letter Ö didn't show up .. :P

Version:
1.2009-42.11
