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:

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.
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 :
