Public bug reported: At times (I have not found the trigger to reproduce it at will), one terminal window out of many will refuse to receive complex input sequences (such as the French composite accented character "ê" (which is typed with "^ + e" on a french keyboard), or IBus/Anthy Japanese input), and only these characters will be redirected to another terminal window.
This means that for two terminals, typing in terminal 1 : "Verbe être" results in this : Terminal 1 : "Verbe tre" Terminal 2 : "ê" When this happens, the following workarounds work to put things in order : - close the affected terminal window - spawn a new one and close it I am not sure whether this is an IBus problem, or a Gnome Terminal problem at its core.
