I can reproduce this XIM problem on a system which was upgraded to 16.04, but not on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04. However: If I create and switch to a new user, the problem is not present. In other words: Some leftovers from previous version(s) in the home directory of my main user prevent the XIM input method from working properly.
Resetting the gtk-im-module gsettings key, as mentioned by Piotr, doesn't help for me. Neither does removing of the whole gsettings database ~/.config/dconf/user For the record: On Ubuntu and most flavors, switching to some other input method can be done from the Language Support GUI. Doing so changes the ~/.xinputrc file instead of removing it. ** Summary changed: - Compose and dead keys stopped working + Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573755 Title: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1573755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
