@Jeremy: Your workaround with not setting GTK_IM_MODULE makes me think of bug #1760308, where that would have been an alternative solution (see comment #6). Now Sebastien fixed it in IBus instead.
To stop setting GTK_IM_MODULE would be an easy thing in im-config, of course. I'm hesitating since we have set that variable to ibus for many cycles, and we are very late in the cycle. I don't understand the significance of setting it, and I think it would be desirable to at least consult with one or two IM users before making that change. Or maybe Sebastien, who is already familiar with the IBus changes which screwed up things wrt Ctrl+Shift+U, can give us a hint offhand on what could be done on the IBus side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761554 Title: [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell source package in Bionic: Triaged Bug description: I filed this bug upstream last month but it hasn't gotten much attention so I'm filing it here because I think we need to track this issue for the Ubuntu 18.04 release https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/109 Test Case --------- 1.
