I had to install sudo apt instal libqt5gui5 ibus and do export QT_IM_MODULE="xim". Now it works.

Same behaviour here.

Operating System
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit

Telegram Desktop Version
0.9.49

Same on Ubuntu 16.04.

Still an issue here. Instead of it showing © for example, it's just like I typed "oc" (<compose> o c)

I had to install sudo apt instal libqt5gui5 ibus and do export QT_IM_MODULE="xim". Now it works.

Closing because it's a general QT problem, not a Telegram problem
