Up until now, I was using TeXstudio 2.8.4 in debian 8 jessie and the following was working fine.
Now in debian 9 stretch with txs 2.11.2, I got the follwoing problem: When I try to type greek polytonic letters, I am not able to get the "spiritus" into TeXstudio by direct keyboard input. For example ἐ ἑ and so on ... try for example the key right of L + shift and then an E, it should result in ἐ. This is not a problem of MATE (the DE I am using), as in all other programs (libreoffice, console and - as you can see here - firefox) it is working fine.
If the answer is: "Install latest TeXstudio" -- which file do you suggest for debian 9?
Which Qt version are you using? This might be a Qt bug, e.g.
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56452
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61513
Hmm, looks like qt4 and qt5 are installed, how can I exactly check that?
You can find the used Qt version at
Help -> About TeXstudio
Using qt 5.7.1., compiled with 5.6.1 R -- could this be the problem?

I have activated the debian 9 build.
You can find the .deb (amd64) here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsundermeyer/Debian_9.0/amd64/
You should use texstudio-qt4-2.12.6 (current RC) as it seems to be a qt5 bug, not present on qt4 builds.

Thanks!
First I installed the qt5-variant, it had the same problem.
Then I saw your edit and took the qt4-one, and it worked fine – so I'm happy.
Is this something I can forward to the debian developers to be added to the next point release or what would you do?
you can make them aware of the problem as it is not in our hands to fix it.
