[Solded] KDE-5 and keyboard layout (greek accent) issue.

I am trying to migrate from KDE-4 to KDE-5. So I installed Arch on Virtualbox.

I have a big problem with greek keyboard layout. I can't input any greek accent on Qt (KDE style) applications. Greek accents is a double key process. E.g. ;+a when in greek layout will produce ά. With Qt application it justs doesn't do anything.

GTK applications are ok. Although I had to change the look and fell of Libreoffice to gtk in order to be able to use accents.

I have selected greek layout with extended variant.

locale -a

C
el_GR
el_GR.iso88597
el_GR.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
greek
POSIX

I had the same problem with KDE 2.x.

Any suggestions?

Re: [Solded] KDE-5 and keyboard layout (greek accent) issue.

Today I had the same problem on another KDE system. After trying again everything, the solution was to delete from ~/.cache, everything related to KDE, Qt-5 and fonts. This action fixed the issue.

Unfortunately I didn;t had time to pinpoint the exact file causing the issue.
