just saying... works fine for me... standard french layout doesn't do alt+e =
é ...

i can only imagine the xkb settings e configures somehow conflict with your
custom modmap stuff and you then need to do it entirely yourself. check "do
not apply any keyboard settings ever" and then entirely do everything via
custom xmodmap files and so on.

so either go via the gui ... or go via your custom config files etc. - but not
both as they likely conflict. i never use modmap files. i used to to make caps
== multi key for compose. i just use the gui config in e.

the window keeps following your mouse even though you released the mouse button?

trust me. chromium has also had very painful points. especially the move to
aurora - lots of stuff broke. input methods didn't work for maybe 1-2 years...
all of that disappeared... the "gtk theme mimicking" still looks like junk ...
it was decent until aurora... chromium would literally hard-lock/deadlock
itself when displaying tooltips - beats me why, both in e and in gnome
for aaaages. but it was an internal deadlock and no app should deadlock just
due to some ordering of events due to how a wm may or may not be managing
windows. still no idea why. it's stopped... but it should never have happened.

welcome to the software world where everyone creates pain and it's worse when
developers don't test together.
