        Hi,

        I'm spanish and I'm using Texmaker in Debian testing version, now
1.9.9-2, for write documents in Spanish language with UTF-8 encoding. I've
Texmaker editor configuration in UTF-8 for font encoding, but when I'm writting
tex files some times the accents appear as " 'a " and not as " á ". When this
happens I go to editor configuration and withouth change none option I save the
settings and return to the file, and then I can continue writting with accents
correctly, with "á" and not with " 'a ". Good. However a few lines after
there's a moment again that I write an accent and it appears " 'a " again.

        I've tried with 1.9.9-2 and 2.0-1 (from unstable) versions, and the
problem is the same. My preamble definitions is:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

        and also occurs if I use "\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}" for encoding.
Due to I think this is a Texmaker problem and not from LaTeX.

        "$cat /etc/default/locale" returns "LANG=es_ES.UTF-8". For this I've
tried in "Editor → Editor font encoding" with "System", but the problem
continues.

        I have found that this could be problem with gnome system language
configuration and uncheck "enable support to enter complex characters" at
System → Administration → Language Support in Ubuntu, but in Debian this
application doesn't exist.

        Could you help me?

        Regards.
