title: Entering "ae" in EditText becomes æ automatically
body: <p>I just inherited some android code and one of the first bugs I encountered was a weird EditText issue which when I type in the letters 'a' and 'e' in sequence, the EditText automatically merges them into the character 'æ'. Full xml declaration below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;EditText
    android:id="@+id/editFirstname"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/profile_edittext_selector"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="textCapSentences"
    android:paddingBottom="6dp"
    android:paddingLeft="15dp"
    android:paddingRight="5dp"
    android:paddingTop="5dp"
    android:textColor="#666666"
    android:textColorHint="#666666"
    android:textSize="12sp" &gt;
  &lt;/EditText&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I searched on the related Activity and Fragment using the xml, but I haven't found anything that can be blamed - no TextWatcher nor any routine trying to modify input or the charsequence inside the EditText. Input language is Use Default (set to English-US).</p>
  
  <p><strong>The weird thing is, the same bug is filed in the iOS version of the app (different dev, also no clue as to why it's happening).</strong></p>
  
  <p>Has anyone encountered this before?</p>
  
  <p>edit:
  drawable declaration, as requested:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;\
    &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/bgd_form_selected" android:state_pressed="true"/&gt;
    &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/bgd_form_selected" android:state_focused="true"/&gt;
    &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/bgd_form"/&gt;
  &lt;/selector&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>edit2:</p>
  
  <p>Additional info:
  - Happens on all test devices: gs2, gs3, xperia z, nexus 4, galaxy ace</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>as mentioned above: same bug filed on iOS</p></li>
  <li><p><strong>important: Server receives correct input when values are submitted (e.g "ae" is not transformed)</strong> (this probably narrows it down to a Display issue)</p></li>
  </ul>
