[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1914053] Re: US intl. Deadkeys not working in some programs
Hi
I'm experimenting a very analog trouble.
I designed my own keyboard layout and my own .XCompose file to produce
ancien greek characters such as α ά ὰ ὰ ᾴ ᾳ ἁ ᾁ ἀ ᾀ, … (I'm using 18.04
to type the present text). Ι've been using these keyboard and .XCompose
file for several years now and they worked fine until I installed Ubuntu
20.04 on a new PC a few weaks ago.
When I hit a dead key, a little circle may get displayed on the screen,
however not systematically. This little circle disappears when I hit the
desired key, and the cursor returns to its previous location.
I'm very disapointed and ready to return to Ubuntu 18.04.

Title:
US intl. Deadkeys not working in some programs
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
xorg:
Installed: 1:7.7+19ubuntu14

The keyboard layout is set as English (US, intl., with dead keys) to deal
with European lettering. This worked fine for a long time, but suddenly, the
dead keys are not working in several programs. As in, when typing the dead key
nothing happens. E.g. they don't work in browsers (checked in Firefox and
Chrome) and in the Matrix Element program. However, they do work in other
programs, such as Kate and LibreOffice.
Normally one can type an apostrophe (') by hitting that key and typing a
space, but now the only way to get that character in those few programs is by
pressing Alt Gr+' . The same thing for letters like é. Normally pressing '+e
would work, now only Alt Gr+e works.
Apport bug report (aka ubuntu-bug xorg) did not work for the xorg
package.
