Same here, German (legacy) solved my problem. But it's not a nice solution. Imagine having this problem w/o internet connection or w/o knowing some helpful search keywords like 'tilde' or 'dead keys'. Most of such users will probably not manage to find out that switching to the legacy-layout solves their problem.

This changed with a recent update where it stopped connecting to the next typed character. After considerable effort I found "Deutsch (veraltet)" ie. "German (deprecated)". There used to be a way to tweak layout settings which also disappeared so there's no way for me to change this behavior.
