So I tried something I hadn't tried before, and it worked.... I installed "Spanish" as input source, and deleted all the others, including English (which I never tried deleting before). With only this layout available, I checked, and it works just as I expect it to. After that, I added "English (US, intl., with dead keys) back again, and now both of the layouts work OK, the spanish one didn't get affected this time.
So now, I have just the two layouts that I'll be using. Before this, I had 3 or 4 spanish layouts installed, but would use only one of them. Nevertheless, couldn't erase the ones I wouldn't use, because that would change the behaviour of the useful one, so I had to stick with all of them. Nevertheless, don't hesitate to ask for more information if it is needed to solve the bug I reported in the first place.

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a notebook, with an english keyboard layout, so "English (Us, intl, with dead keys) was my only option in "Region & Language / Input Sources". Now I want to use an external keyboard, which has a spanish distribution, so I tried adding "Spanish" (Let's call it "es1") to my "Input Sources" list. This is not quite my distribution, so I added a few more to try: "Spanish (with Sun Dead keys)" (es2), "Spanish (Latin American, with Sun dead keys)" (es3) and "Spanish (Win keys)" (es4). So after trying all this 4 options in spanish layouts, I decided that I want to use the (es4) option, because it fits my keyboard exactly, and I won't be needing any of the others spanish options. Just want to keep one for english and one for spanish. Now comes the strange behaviour: while "es4" is still my layout option in use, I go to "Input Sources" configuration and delete the input sources I won't be using (es1, es2 and es3). After deleting, I only have two options, one for english and one for spanish. The available keyboard layout for spanish is the same one I chose before, "Spanish (Win keys), but after deleting the other ones, this layout doesn't fit my keyboard any more. Some keys don't give me the same characters as they did when I was trying all the options and had the others layouts installed, but not in use. I've also noticed that installing a keyboard layout behaves different depending on whether there are other layouts installed or not. For example, if I install and use "Spanish" layout, when there is only "English" I don't get the same results if I install and use it when there are other "Spanish input sources" already installed.
