Summary0001895: Label property input does not accept special characters who need two key pressing.
DescriptionThe label input don't allow user to enter character like ä,ë,ï,â,ê,î.
It seem that is because these letters need two key press (on a french azery, keyboard).

It accept character like éèàù as they need to press only one letter.

Yes you're right. I have to search in preference keyboard to see how it's mapping.
Don't know the usage of people, but I'm not sure there is a lot that know this.
The two key press is comfortable as it's physically visible on the keyboard.

So, this isn't a bug, is it?

IMO, yes, I've learned to type like this.

IMO, it's up to the OS to do the keyboard stuff properly and it's beyond the scope of Qt do manage it and definitely beyond the scope of FreeCAD.

Yes, you're totally right, it's not a FreeCAD bug.
