#11268: Can't enter extended ASCII characters into IM window

Reporter:  ratcatcher  |        Type:  defect      
  Status:  new         |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)
 Version:  2.6.5       |    Keywords:

 I live in Ireland and need to use the € (Euro) character and accented
 vowels.

 My keyboard is mapped so that CTRL+ALT+4 produces €, CTRL+ALT+a produces á
 and so on.  This works fine with most programmes including Windows Live
 Messenger, Word, Thunderbird and Mozilla.

 However, these key combinations produce nothing in Pidgin and I can't find
 any way to include these characters in messages.

 If I copy and paste the characters into my Pidgin window from elsewhere it
 works fine, I just can't key them.

 Regards

 Nick
