Entering a slash (/) triggers a dead key combination but only after each program start

[Former user]

Version and OS

SpeedCrunch 0.11 (Portable Edition) (Qt 4.8.5) - Win10

Background information

To type a slash on my Swiss keyboard, I must press Shift+7. I also configured my keyboard to enter a dead key when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+7, allowing me to output various fraction characters (½, ¼, ¾…). Hence, for example, I can type ½ by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+7,2.

Bug description

After each start of SpeedCrunch, the first time I want to enter a slash (/) and hence press Shift+7, what is actually interpreted by SpeedCrunch is a slash (/) plus the dead key described above. So, for example, if I want to enter, say, "4/2" in the command line and hence type 4, then Shift+7, then 2, the output is "4/½" instead of "4/2".

Note that only the very first attempt to type a slash leads to this bug. All subsequent key presses of Shift+7 correctly output just a single slash without triggering the dead key. The problem is back each time SpeedCrunch is (re)started.

Thanks for your bug report. Can you check the problem still happens with the latest development build please? It is available here.

This really sounds like a Qt bug, rather than something wrong on our side.
