Wordpress-android: Accents with Bluetooth Keyboard do not work in the editor

[kwonye]

An Android user reports that with their Spanish bluetooth keyboard, they can’t add accents to the characters. It works correctly elsewhere (e.g. in the Helpshift conversation) but not in the editor.

We should test this with Aztec as well.

We should test this with Aztec as well.

We're using "fluxc-obsolete" label for issues that will probably be fixed by FluxC integration - might be worth creating a "aztec-obsolete" label.

@maxme good call, created.

Tested the app with a Belkin BT case+keyboard I have here and it seems to work OK with accents in Greek, both in Aztec and in the hybrid visual editor. Also tried and added Spanish as an option and I'm able to add accented characters by typing the ' char first and then the letter. Can't fully verify this for Spanish though as I'm not familiar with what accented characters should be available.

Thanks for testing, @hypest!
