You can possibly work around this by selecting another input method (IM) with 'im-config' or by removing ~/.xinputrc (which selects the default for your locale) and then reboot (or restart X11—log out & back in is not always enough).
The default IM for most languages is 'ibus' which you can configure with 'ibus-setup' if necessary (but only after the X restart!). For some reason the ibus developers think it's funny to show a "smiley face" during entering of a Compose sequence, but otherwise it seems to work okay now. -- 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 in gnome terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1573755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
