session
Test Case
---------
Open a terminal and install basic French support:

Click +, choose French (France), then choose the French (AZERTY) keyboard
Close the Settings app

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This fix is included in mutter 45.2 so see the master bug for this upstream
update: LP: #2043000
Original bug report
-------------------
Most programs don't recognize Italian accented capital letters.
When "Caps Lock" is on àèìòù should be written as ÀÈÌÒÙ... but for some
reasons they are not capitalized.
I've noticed that everything works fine using the Live session which still
uses X11 session.
It looks there's no problem with programs that use xwayland like Gimp
and MarkText.
WORKAROUND
===========================
In "Settings -> Keyboard" it's possible to set a "compose key".
For example I've selected the [Super left] key. If I want to compose È I
press and immediately release each key:
[Super left] + [E] + [Alt Gr] + [']
If you want É:
[Super left] + [E] + [']
Do the same for the other vowels.
