Public bug reported:

deads keys / accented characters stop working on Libreoffice after
windows loses focus

On Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE:

1. open libreoffice
2. write áéíóú
3. click on another window or use alt+tab
4. clock on libreoffice window or use alt+tab
5. write áéíóu and get aeiou instead

The situation can be worked around by running

unset XMODIFIERS
libreoffice

from a terminal.

We can certainly set unset XMODIFIERS on

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice

but that will not survice libreoffice upgrades.

We could also unset XMODIFIERS on .bash_profile but we want the
workaround to be limited to libreoffice without causing side effects on
other apps.

Conclusion: we need a solution that comes directly from Ubuntu's
repositories.

Any comments?

We are available for further debugging and testing.

Note: there are similar bug reports published but this is the closest
one
