Title:
US intl. Deadkeys not working in some programs
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
xorg:
Installed: 1:7.7+19ubuntu14
Candidate: 1:7.7+19ubuntu14

The keyboard layout is set as English (US, intl., with dead keys) to deal
with European lettering. This worked fine for a long time, but suddenly, the
dead keys are not working in several programs. As in, when typing the dead key
nothing happens. E.g. they don't work in browsers (checked in Firefox and
Chrome) and in the Matrix Element program. However, they do work in other
programs, such as Kate and LibreOffice.
Normally one can type an apostrophe (') by hitting that key and typing a
space, but now the only way to get that character in those few programs is by
pressing Alt Gr+' . The same thing for letters like é. Normally pressing '+e
would work, now only Alt Gr+e works.
Apport bug report (aka ubuntu-bug xorg) did not work for the xorg
package.
