Seems this is the same bug I was about to file. Every time I reboot my compose key is forgotten, though layout options still indicates the settings I have.
To repro: System->Preferences->Keyboard Layouts Tab, Layout Options button Compose key position, check 'Menu is Compose.' open some window in which you can type and hit the Menu key followed by (for example) the letter 'o' and then '/', you should see a ΓΈ printed. Now reboot (or possibly just log out as the original report suggests, I haven't tried it). Once you are logged in again open a window to type in and try the same key combo again. When you hit the Menu key this time though you will see the right click menu pop up. Again go to: System->Preferences->Keyboard Layouts Tab, Layout Options button (this time 'Menu is Compose' will already be checked) uncheck and re-check 'Menu is Compose.' the key Menu key will now work as compose again as expected. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 2.6.24-19-generic -- Compose key forgotten between sessions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
