Is it the same issue as http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=12228 "0012228: Some accented characters dont get typed in text frames"?

I remember a discussion. http://search.gmane.org/?query=Accented+characters+requiring+2+keystroke+to+be+typed&group=gmane.comp.graphics.scribus

Is there any way to tell if the problem is with Scribus or with Qt5?

I can type accented characters into text frames in the Scribus 1.4.4 (linked to qt-4.8.6) provided with Fedora 20 but not with the Scribus 1.5.0 (linked to qt5-5.3.2) that I built from source.
