Hello pjr49,
I understand that you're no longer able to choose accented characters by holding down a key (such as á or ö). If the Key Repeat slider in System Preferences > Keyboard is set to Off, then you won't see these special characters. Adjusting the Key Repeat slider, even just one notch to the right, should restore the aforementioned functionality.
