I can confirm that this bug is still present in Kubuntu 15.04 with
Plasma 5.3 (KDE Update PPA).

Steps to reproduce:

1) do a fresh install of Kubuntu 15.04
2) set keyboard to 'english - US, international with dead keys'
3) ' + e yields é in every application EXCEPT for Libreoffice (in fact, ' and " cannot be used at all anymore)

Workaround:

4) apt-get remove libreoffice-kde
5) apt-get install libreoffice-gnome
6) now ' + e yields é in Libreoffice

Title:
  libreoffice-kde disables ability to write special characters in
  libreoffice

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This package disables the ability to write special characters in libreoffice.
  Open libreoffice, write some special characters ěščřžýáíéé for example USING combination of letters, like ˇe, ˇs,'a etc. for ě,š,á.
  Then switch to another window, then back to libreoffice
  all you can write now is e, s, a etc.

  ěščřžýáíé has their own key in czech keyboard.
  Other letters that do not have special keys in keyboard need to be activated with ˇ or ' and the letter.

  Special characters that has special buttons like ěščřžýáí works, but
  those that need combination of keys do not work. (like ú etc.)

  Uninstallation of libreoffice-kde is workaround.
