Unexplained Accent marks? (occasionally)

[MiniD3]

Hi guys,
Its not routine, but sometimes I start typing asn I get accent marks on top of my letters
once I get this, continuing typing is impossible and the delete key doesn't make it go away
The only way Ive been able to get out of is to restart and usually it goes away
Very frustrating!

Is it how I start typing that "triggers" this format or do I have a bug in the system?

Have you double-checked your Language & Region and Keyboard settings in the Preferences? Usually this selection only appears if you hold down the corresponding key for a bit.

How are both of the settings for Key Repeat and Delay Until Repeat?

Just saying: It's a feature that lots of people use a lot - if you are in Europe, you will find lots of people have accents in their names. If you type French or German, it's _really_ valuable. But in English, for example if you want to type "naïve" you just type n, a, hold i down and pick the right character, v, e. Or Ångström. Just hold shift-A down.
