In regular applications like gedit umlauts work however, so it seems to be specific to password prompts. Couldn't find anything interesting the the journalctl log, only messages related to gnome-shell at the time of trying to input the umlaut are: Apr 05 14:41:24 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Loading…")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:first-child ("Home")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Home")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Home")] in window slots Apr 05 14:41:25 pc gnome-shell[2094]: Couldn't find child [0x55cb1c6ece70 Gjs_ui_windowPreview_WindowPreview:last-child ("Home")] in window slots ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.38.4-1ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 5.11.11+ x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu61 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Mon Apr 5 14:24:19 2021 DisplayManager: gdm3 RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.38.4-1ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1922559/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
