Your OS details: Ubuntu 20.04 ``` $ uname -a Linux leia 5.4.0-42-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 00:24:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` Seems to be related to #2105 --- **Normal open** Dead keys works in all the system: gedit, firefox, libreoffice and others. Up to a weeks ago (01/08/20 more or less) Geany was working ok. With no changes on Geany but the normal system updates now Geany behaves in a different way: - Editor: Dead keys makes a blink on the whole window - Draft: Dead keys ok - Terminal: Dead keys ok **Verbose** In verbose mode (geany -v) I can see this message when I press a dead key on the Editor: ``` Gdk-Message: 18:46:05.005: Window 0x55ba970a1380 is a temporary window without parent, application will not be able to position it on screen. ``` It doesn't matter which dead key, all the time is the same message (timestamp updated). No message when a dead key is pressed on Draft or Terminal, there just works ok. **XMODIFIERS** Setting XMODIFIERS to `@im=none` have no difference on the behavior of the dead keys. Again the error message on the Editor and works ok on Draft and Terminal ``` XMODIFIERS="@im=none" geany -v ``` **Force X11** When forced to X11 the Editor comes back to work ok: ``` GDK_BACKEND=x11 geany -v ``` No error messages. The behavior is ok on Editor, Draft and Terminal. **WORKAROUND** As pointed out on #2105, seems like the workaround is to force X11 on the bashrc file to use Geany normally. Just add this line to your .bashrc file: ``` export GDK_BACKEND=x11 ``` **To be improved** Maybe the Editor need the same component or behavior like Draft. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
