System Information
ubuntu 14.04

Blender Version
Broken: Blender 2.76b HASH : f337fea
Worked: This is a old bug. Don't remember in which version it appeared.

Short description of error
When i add a text with accented characters and then, select other object, the left mouse stops "seeing" the 3d manipulator.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Phase #1 (normal)
1 - Make sure 3d manipulator is active as "translate".
2 - Add a cube, and use the left mouse to grab it in X, Y, or Z axis.

Phase #2(bugged)
1 - Add a text with an accented character (As example, café forte).
2 - Exit text edit mode and : SELECT the cube again.
4 - Now, try to use the 3d manipulator, clicking on it with the left mouse.
5 - All you will see is the 3d cursor going to the position you clicked.

Phase 3#(workaround)
1a - Minimize you blender
2a - Restore it
3a - Now, the 3d manipulator will work again, when you grab it with left mouse.

1b - Or, after exiting the text edit mode, before anything, use the manipulator in the text you added.

What is your keyboard layout, and what is the exact key or key combination your press to get such accented characters?

I suspect it's somehow Blender thinking that the the ctrl, alt or shift keys is still pressed when it isn't.

Hi Brecht.

The keyboard layout is : Portuguese(Brazil). It is how Ubuntu calls it. My old Fedora calls it ABNT2, or something like that.

The sequence is simple, and has no Alt, Ctrl or Shift, in many cases.

For example, to write "café"

I type [ c ][ a ][ f ][ ' ][ e ]

Sometimes, i need to use shift, as in côco : [ c ][ shift + ^ ][ o ][ c ][ o ]

Can confirm this here (french keyboard), any composed char created with a “dead key” gives this behavior. Reproducible in 2.73a too, so that's not a recent regression.

Other workaround to get mouse click working again as expected: just hit 'altgr' key, and then you can use manipulator again.
