No Umlaut for you! Actually for me.

Odd: Designer 2 (actually Photo and Publisher as well) won’t let me type the capital versions of the umlauts Ä and Ö with my Logitech Combotouch keyboard anymore. Ü still works as well as copy&paste from other apps and the iPadOS keyboard. Designer 1 isn’t struggling and produces Äs and Ös to my heart’s content. And just to be sure: it’s not a font issue.

Hi JustARalf,

Unfortunately we don't have a Logitech ComboTouch here out of interest do you have any other keyboards you could possibly try just so I can confirm that this issue only occurs with the Logitech Combotouch?

Thanks

Hey Callum,

thanks for the quick reply. I don’t want to make this bigger than it ist - it’s just odd. To answer your question: I’ve just linked a MacBook Pro to the iPad and used its trackpad and keyboard. The issue persisted: small äs and ös, no caps tho.

I would hazard the prediction that a restart of the iPad will resolve the issue. At the moment I just can’t interrupt work - and I figured it’s an oddity that could be interesting for the developers.

Cheers,
Ralf

Hey Callum.

small update: curiously enough a restart of the iPad didn’t change a thing. No Ä & Ö.

I’m using Apple Smart Keyboard with my iPad Pro, there seems to be a long press new? pop up menu appearing for me on IOS17 beta that includes those characters possibly?

Hello Paul,

with the iPad‘s onscreen keyboard there aren‘t any issues with those characters. It‘s only with external (Logitech case with keyboard, MacBook Pro) that Ä and Ö won‘t work - it‘s only the caps, too, and strangely enough Ü works perfectly fine.

I am not using the onscreen keyboard, I am using the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio.
