Public bug reported: Hi,
I have a bug since the recent updates on Ubuntu 25.10 (post 5th September): when the user password contains a circumflex accent like "û", access is first denied because the letter is written without accent on the password field. Steps to reproduce : On 5th September, I ran since many weeks the development version of Ubuntu 25.10, updated from a previous 25.04 classic Gnome (Shell) Wayland version with a password having a "û" inside, which had always worked fine. I did an update, cumulating the last 2 weeks before. Now, on current 25.10, on gdm login field : -Numeric keypad was no more activated by default on startup : corrected in the last 7th September updates -And if I type "û" it writes "u", same for ô → o ; ï → i If I type : € # $ @ ù à é è they are well and correctly written. Only letters with an accent needing click on 2 keys (including one dead key like ^) are no more written correctly : û and ü give u ô and ö give o French language and "French (alternative)" keyboard configuration gdm3 version 49 beta-0 ubuntu3 I have to launch the visual keypad in order to correctly write the û. It's a similar issue that one I already had in 18.04 - I opened a new bug report because it concerns new packages, but I give the link in case it can help for the upstream identification and report on Gnome Shell / gdm : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1758563 Thanks ! ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122282 Title: Circumflex accent not written in password field at gdm login screen on 25.10 Status in gdm package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I have a bug since the recent updates on Ubuntu 25.10 (post 5th September): when the user password contains a circumflex accent like "û", access is first denied because the letter is written without accent on the password field.
