The bug persists with accented characters if the dead key is the first character you type. I mean, open the overview, type "á" and you see just "a". Then type another "á" and it shows correctly. Same if you type "lá", the accent shows correctly because the dead key wasn't the first thing you typed.

I have a standard Spanish keyboard. Under X, if I try to input an accentuated character, such as á or ü, in places like the search field in the overview or when writing a folder name in the app grid, nothing appears. Under Wayland, it fails each time on the first input of an accentuated character, then it works. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.9 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-05-01 (174 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20200203.1) Package: ibus PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-52.57-generic 5.4.65 RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.36.6-1ubuntu0.20.04.2 Tags: focal Uname: Linux 5.4.0-52-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-09-29 (22 days ago) UserGroups: sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1900906/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
