Lyx started with option -dbg 4 tells the when compose is pressed:
KeySym is Multi_key[65312] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is ""
Key [-1][Multi_key][0]
now followed by the sequence '"' + 'U':
KeySym is Shift_R[65506] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is ""
KeySym is diaeresis[168] and num_bytes is 1 the string returned is "¨"
Key [-1][S-diaeresis][1]
KeySym is U[85] and num_bytes is 1 the string returned is "U"
Key [-1][S-U][1]
