Special Characters Issue on Mac

[dehaant]

Issue type

UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)

Description with steps to reproduce

On Mac, you can hold down a key on the keyboard to access that letters special characters (e.g. hold down 'u' to access the umlaut). When you do this in MuseScore, the special character is input as intended, except the normal letter is also added. You have to manually delete the letter.

It looks like this:

Suü-sßer
rather than
Sü-ßer.

It's ultimately a small thing, but would be good to fix, for speed of entering lyrics and other text that includes special characters.

Best,
Tanner
