    N9 French virtual keyboard bug - unable to enter à (a grave), é (e acute), è (e grave), etc.

    On my Nokia N9, with the French virtual keyboards set, I am unable to enter essential characters such as " " (a grave), " é " (e acute), " è " (e grave), etc.



    Is there a way to enter these characters? Or a solution to this bug?



    The only accented character supported for inputs is " ç " (c with a cedillla). This character is rarely used compared to (a with grace accent), é (e with an acute accent) and è (e with a grave accent).



    N900 (physical and virtual) keyboards supported all the above and other accented characters.



    A weird twist, there are multiple types of quotation marks supported on the French virtual keyboard (which one would deem totally redundant).

    Acute accent key creates double ´´

    So i'm having this super annoying issue where my acute accent key creates double ´´ But only in office 365 and mozilla products.
    What's the normal behaviour of the acute accent key? Normally you press it once and nothing appears on screen as it's awaiting the second input, so you press acute accent and then e to get é etc.

    I've found older threads on win7 forum and other places with no solution.
