iMovie: Devanagari font autocorrects accent mark to wrong spelling

Where: iMovie\ Titles


When: While Using Devanagari (a script used for Hindi/Marathi/Sanskrit languages)


What wrong: As soon as you get out of Title edit mode, the word changes to a wrong spelling as the accent marks automatically moves around.

Steps to recreate:

  1. Change to Devanagari-QUERTY keyboard
  2. Click on the Title to select the text box.
  3. Type n i shift+l a ( I entered the word which means 'blue' in Marathi. )
  4. Click outside the text box, notice the problem.
