An update.

We have discovered the problem lies in the way Qt processes input, but 
a solution and testing the fix is complex. 

Complicating the fix is the way Qt is built by various distros. 
Koffice and Lyx to name two are apps which have encountered the same 
issue.

The LANG variable and your keyboard settings also plays a part in this 
as well.
