I upgraded from eterm-0.9.2-r6 to eterm-0.9.3-r3, as a dependency libast got upgraded from "0.5-r2" to "0.6.1". With this new version dead keys (like "~" or backquotes) are not working anymore, which is quite annoying in a shell. When trying to type one of these chars once or multiple times (with or without space after them), simply nothing happens. The settings are correct as it worked before and still does for any X-appclication, terminal and in the text mode console (all without "nodeadkeys" variant). It is not a setting in "user.cfg", as temporarly removing it to get the default settings doesn't change the behaviour. Temporary workaround: I downgraded to eterm-0.9.2-r6, as a dependency libast was downgraded from "0.6.1" to "0.5-r2". Now all dead keys are working again, so the problem seems to be located in one of these two packages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av =x11-terms/eterm-0.9.3-r3 2. open eterm 3. try to type a tilde or a backquote Actual Results: nothing ;-) Expected Results: It should print out the chars mapped to the dead keys.
eterm-0.9.3 can work with libast-0.5 ... i just force the DEPEND to keep things sane ... try doing: emerge =libast-0.5* emerge =eterm-0.9.3* --nodeps and then see if deadkeys still fail to work properly ... also, you neglected to post `emerge info` like the bug report page told you to, so make sure you include it this time :P
Allright, I tried this one, but eterm-0.9.3 in combination with libast-0.5 shows the same behaviour.

Created attachment 58623 [details, diff] eterm-0.9.3-deadkeys.patch please try this patch
Thanks, the patch is working and so are deadkeys now. :-) I added the patch to the ebuild in /usr/portage/x11-terms/eterm, and edited the manifest to work with it. Is this the correct way, or will this cause problems with portage, if I don't manually remove all changes?
next time you `emerge sync` all changes in your portage tree will be lost not to worry, once i got confirmation this patch worked i was going to add it to portage (which i just did) ... 0.9.3-r4 now in portage thanks for testing !
