Hello, I'm facing a similar issue, using mantic. In noble development I haven't come across this bug thus far.
I'm using the hellenic (greek) keyboard trying to type the following capital letters in ubuntu wayland: Ρ(R), Y, Ψ(C), Ζ. In parenthesis I'm adding the corresponding english letters if applicable. Instead, I'm getting the small letters ρ, υ, ψ, ζ. The applications tested are: text editor, libreoffice, gnome-calendar, gnome-terminal, application finder, firefox. I do not face such an issue in opera browser though. In my case what is different is that these letters are not accented (only υ/Υ can take an accent ύ/Ύ, yet this is not a separate key, I just have to press : before the letter in order to take the accent. I can bypass this, by pressing shift and the letter in question. I enabled mantic proposed, yet I couldn't come across the package in question. Under xorg I didn't notice this issue.

You should get É What Could Go Wrong ------------------- This fix is included in mutter 45.2 so see the master bug for this upstream update: LP: #2043000 Original bug report ------------------- Most programs don't recognize Italian accented capital letters. When "Caps Lock" is on àèìòù should be written as ÀÈÌÒÙ... but for some reasons they are not capitalized. I've noticed that everything works fine using the Live session which still uses X11 session. It looks there's no problem with programs that use xwayland like Gimp and MarkText. WORKAROUND =========================== In "Settings -> Keyboard" it's possible to set a "compose key". For example I've selected the [Super left] key. If I want to compose È I press and immediately release each key: [Super left] + [E] + [Alt Gr] + ['] If you want É: [Super left] + [E] + ['] Do the same for the other vowels. =========================== ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 23.10 Package: gnome-text-editor 45~beta-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.3.0-7.7-generic 6.3.5 Uname: Linux 6.3.0-7-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.27.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Sep 11 11:48:41 2023 InstallationDate: Installed on 2023-09-07 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 23.10 "Mantic Minotaur" - Daily amd64 (20230906.3) ProcEnviron: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: gnome-text-editor UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/2035076/+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
