Accented characters cannot be entered correctly by long-pressing keys on macOS. The accented characters can be selected (either via mouse or number) but appear duplicated in the text together with the non-accented version (e.g. aä, uü, …).
To Reproduce…
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
In the body of a new email long press “a”
select the desired accented character from the pop-up
character appears duplicated in the text
Expected Behavior
Accented characters should appear correctly without duplicates in the email body.
Please let me know if there is additional information that I should provide, or if you have a hint on where the issue originates from.
Unfortunately this bug makes Mailspring unusable for language like German or others that heavily rely on accented characters.
Good morning. I have just started using Mailspring in the last few days, and since I write most of my messages in French and Spanish, this is a very disappointing problem. I thought perhaps since I was new to the application, the fault was simply my lack of understanding. Your posting reassures me that perhaps the problem is larger than just my being new. Thank you for posting!
