I can reproduce the issue on focal but not on groovy. I installed the
groovy version of the ibus binaries on focal, but the issue was still
present, so this seems not to be an ibus bug.
I can type ü with a German keyboard layout, so it seems to be about dead
keys rather than accented letters as such. Furthermore, I can't input
e.g. Chinese characters using IBus at all.

Title:
Can't use dead keys or input e.g. Chinese characters in GNOME shell
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I'm running an up-to-date Ubuntu Focal. I have a standard Spanish keyboard.
Under X, if I try to input an accentuated character, such as á or ü, in places
like the search field in the overview or when writing a folder name in the app
grid, nothing appears. Under Wayland, it fails each time on the first input of
an accentuated character, then it works.
