hello.
ignoring diacritics is not expected behaviour for me!
i realy love libreoffice, wish to use it, appreciate your great work and
sincerely pray for you every day.
but as i mentioned, i have hundreds of islamic books and need supporting
diacritics to read and edit them easily!
i love the behaviour of microsoft word, notepad plus plus etc in this regard
for supporting diacritics!
alt with arrow keys does not work for me or if it works, my screen reader does
not read anything for me!
is there any setting that i should change in order to alt with arrow keys
support diacritics?
