Public bug reported:

I have followed the instructions on this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey and still cannot get my
compose key to work properly. For example, I hold down shift+altGR then
release then type o/ and all I get is o/ rather than the ø that the
instructions say I should get.

I can, however, get the ø by holding altGR and hitting o.

I want to be able to type an em-dash using my compose key and have been
told (from forums) that I should be able to press my compose key and
type ---. and it should give me an em dash. However, when I try this i
get ---. or \\\· depending on whether I'm holding altGR or not.

I have ask forums about this problem with little response so I assume
this is a bug. I am also affected by bug #196277, however I workaround
this by having setxkbmap in my startup programs.

I'm using a UK layout.
