No access to character accent menu in LO 5.0.0.5 under OSX 10.11

A great OSX feature is the character accent menu available in OSX (you
can set the OS so that holding down a key pops up a menu with special
characters, instead of just endlessly repeating the key). With the roll
out of ElCap (OSX 10.11.3), Apple made repeating letters the default.
While one can reset the default to the pop-up accent menu, this reset
does NOT work in LO (one has to manual enter the Special Character menu).

Is this rejection of the OS setting a 'feature' of LO (5.0.0.5) or a
bug, and in either case is there a way to implement the OS setting?

Not even a response to whether this is a feature or a bug?
