This is a bug report for the PATCHED Emacs+EmacsW32. Please test the unpatched version of Emacs+EmacsW32 before reporting if you can. If the bug is also in the unpatched version then report from the unpatched version else report here.
If it is very inconvenient for you to try the unpatched version, but you believe the bug is not related to the patches then you may change the address above to emacs-pretest-...@gnu.org For easy to read information about the patches see EmacsW32 home page. Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the help-emacs-windows@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': After the last Windows update: Feature Update version 1803, the dead keys no longer work. I have set the English International keyboard, and pressing first an accent (e.g. ') and then a letter (e.g. a) the result on the current buffer (e.g. the scratch) is: a. The accent appears if I hit another key after "a", e.g. a space. So, hitting ' a space the result is a'. Before this Windows update, the result of ' a was á. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file c:/Program Files/Emacs/emacs/etc/DEBUG.
