This affects me as well. I am using: - GNOME Shell 3.28.0 - GDM 3.28.1 - a 105-key ISO keyboard - 'German' keyboard layout (_not_ the 'no dead keys' variant)
I am not using Ubuntu but I am adding this info here, since this issue seems to be much easier to find than the one on GNOME's GitLab. When using the 'no dead keys' variant I can successfully enter single accent characters like '`' or '^' but not accented vowels like 'ò' (it becomes '`o'). When using the 'German' keyboard layout with dead keys, I cannot enter certain accented vowels either. Pressing [^] and [o] simply outputs 'o'. These keys have to be pressed _after_ each other usually. Numerous other special characters, that require simultaneous keypresses work though: €@§~#µ etc., e.g. [AltGr] + [a] --> æ. Compose keys do not work either and thus I believe that this is indeed issue #115 linked by seb1228 above. Interestingly, the on-screen keyboard could not enter many of the simpler special characters, like 'ö' or 'ä' which are single keypresses on the keyboard, at all (see attached picture). In three instances I could enter 'š', 'å' and 'ß'. I deleted 'š' and could not reproduce any of those characters with the on-screen keyboard after that. This problem persists on the desktop though, so it appears to be unrelated? I'll wait for GNOME Shell 3.28.1 and report back if that fixes my issue. ** Attachment added: "showing different special characters that work. dead keys do not work." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1758563/+attachment/5110930/+files/deadkeys.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758563 Title: Blocked at gdm login screen on 18.04 if user password has a circumflex accent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1758563/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
