Brian, Are you using ibus module for "English (int., with AltGr dead key)".
Since I use GNOME/Wayland I can't be sure but all non-GNOME system configures ibus with "ibus-setup". There may be configuration option there. What was your intended system configuration. If it is a good old Pure-X way without ibus on non-GNOME, then you have to unload ibus. GNOME pull in this if you installed it previously.

Are you using Wayland? I'm using Xorg, so perhaps that's why we're seeing different behavior. > 1. What makes you think it's an IBus issue? Killing ibus-daemon stops it from happening. All the subsidiary processes exit when that happens as well, so it might be a different IBus process. To help troubleshooting, here's a listing of what's running from IBus when I see it: $ ps ax | grep ibus 1198762 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --daemonize --xim 1198776 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-dconf 1198778 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-ui-gtk3 1198781 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/libexec/ibus-extension-gtk3 1198787 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon 1198790 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-portal 1198876 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-simple All of those are gone after I send a SIGTERM to ibus-daemon, and the problem disappears as well. > 2.

What I've typed in the screenshot is Compose (that is, Windows) and the apostrophe. > 3. Do you see the small window if you define some other key as the > compose key than the one you currently use? The key I use is the Windows key. Temporarily setting right Ctrl shows the same behavior.
