I would like to add some information to the bug description.
The problem seems to be in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr file. In the
latest version the lines :
key <AC10> { [ dead_acute, dead_horn ] };
key <AC11> { [ dead_grave, dead_ogonek ] };
have been changed to :
key <AC10> { [ dead_acute, dead_psili ] };
key <AC11> { [ dead_grave, dead_dasia ] };
Linguistically speaking, this is the right thing to do.
But one must, also, correct accordingly the
/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose and the
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose files.
The credit for showing the above is Simos' (
