You might be on to something. Potentially accented characters (I'm no expert on languages, so I could be off a little) seem to drop most often or at least be near to the characters that do drop.
Note that it is difficult to be precise about this. First, I can never know exactly what keys I hit, and second, I'm rushing to try to stress the event loop which probably increases my error rate.
However, I'm a pretty fair typist, at least when the text is origininating in my head (I never transcribe for others, so I don't have that skill), and I know Pharo does drop characters, even if I can't tell you exsactly which ones.

Subject: [Pharo-project] Missing characters when typing?
Hi all,
seems not to be fixed:
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1048#c4as additional info:
does that happen only on Linux?
does that only happen with potentially accented characters like e, a, u etc?
There is some really ugly Linux specific code for handling composed characters which could be the source of the problems. If there are missing characters on other platforms too then the problem might be somewhere else.
I'm not familiar with autocompletion (old fashioned using only bare bones images), so not sure what magic happens there potentially.
Michael
