Hi,

I was just wondering if the letter doubling described in these posts ([1](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/macos-letters-double-while-typing-with-diacritics/27457), [2](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/using-accents-with-mac-and-iphone-causes-a-double-letter/31525) and probably more) has been looked into since then.

Since the holding down to add diacritics seems to be one of the main ways to modify letters on macOS, I find that this issue is not too small since it requires quite annoying workarounds.

My main questions are:  
Would a newer Qt-version fix the problem and is there an issue regarding this issue on GitHub (I could not find one)? If not: Has anyone told the people over at Qt about it? In their issue reporting, I found a couple of different similar issues that have been closed ([1](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71394), [2](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-7186)).

Thanks for your replies

I’ve reported it on [Loading...](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-115994), but I wouldn’t get your hopes up - one of the issues I reported to them back in 2019 still hasn’t been addressed.
