[BLUEJ-1038] Linux - Not possible to type special characters on the editor

With linux mint platform based on Ubuntu, Linux Mint versions of issue: 17.x and 18.x Java Versions used: Oracle and OpenJava.

It is not possible in the new version to type characters like 'á' 'Á'. Ó í ñ ... Spanish characters. Even on comments. The only way to be able to do it, is copying it from an external editor and paste it into the code.

To type such characters, Spanish keyboard do not use modifier, but pressing the special character '´' available in spanish Keybards and followed by the character that has to get it. for example: ' ´ '+' a ' = á

In other case (ñ character) it is a direct key. No need anyone before it.
