Public bug reported:
This bug is in Ubuntu Intrepid.
If I assign the menu key to act as the compose key in my keyboard
preferences, I cannot actually use it as that because every time I press
it a contextual menu comes up. I can assign another function to the key
using the keyboard shortcuts tool, and disable the contextual menu that
way, but that still doesn't get the compose key functionality working.
This bug is a regression. I was able to use the menu key as the compose
key the last time I tried, which was quite many months back.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you exactly when it broke because another
bug was preventing me using the menu key on my laptop altogether until a
couple of days ago, but most likely it was during the upgrade to
Intrepid.
For me at least, this bug is a bit less trivial than it might appear,
because on the Canadian multilingual layout, which I use quite a lot,
another bug is also preventing right-ctrl and right-alt being used as
the menu key.
