Several years ago the basic German XKB layout was modified in that the
dead_tilde symbol was changed to asciitilde (i.e. not dead). They added
a German (legacy) layout which changes back asciitilde to dead_tilde.
German (legacy) has in 18.04 been name changed to German (deadtilde).
So yes Stéphane, with that name change you no longer get the impression
that the layout will disappear soon.
This is not a gnome-control-center issue at all, so closing.

Title:
German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I'm used to the tilde (~) key being a dead key that can be used to
type ñ or Ĩ. This changed with a recent update where it stopped
connecting to the next typed character. After considerable effort I
found "Deutsch (veraltet)" ie. "German (deprecated)".
There used to be a way to tweak layout settings which also disappeared
so there's no way for me to change this behavior.
