Steps to reproduce:

Ubuntu Linux 14.10, Unity desktop environment.

* Click on starred recipient in received e-mail
* Select "Edit Contact"
* Try to use the compose key (set to right alt) to enter characters with diacritics

Expected results:

It shouldn't close.

The right alt key is configured as compose key.
Sounds plausible as a bug which should be fixed.
