Problem with keyboard layout US int. with dead keys in latest Tumbleweed
Hi, since one of the latest upgrades of Tumbleweed, the system, using KDE, does not give me the special characters that are made using dead keys. I tried the two versions of keyboard US international, but both do not give me these special characters, at least not when typing this message in KMail, in the konsole and in lokalize. I can get these characters in Firefox. My workaround is using the application Special Characters, but this is only a workaround. Anybody having the same problem? Solution? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

How exactly did you try it? Where did you configure it?

I briefly tested 20220614 with English (USm, intl., with dead keys) keyboard configured in KDE System Settings and I can use dead keys at least in konsole. This is test VM with pretty much vanilla installation of KDE desktop.

The default for Dutch is US international keyboard with dead keys. So suddenly, after an upgrade, I got this problem.
but both do not give me these special characters, at least not when typing this message in KMail, in the konsole and in lokalize.

I configured the extra layout in KDE System Settings and I did both a logout and also a reboot. Later removed the extra layout, because it did not help. Now that I compose this message in the composer, I do have functioning dead keys, but not in konsole. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

I am seeing similar on one box but not the other four. the keyboard is a wireless usb w/mouse, logitech. the problem is not consistant. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc

yes, I have also experienced it but not as prevalent. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc

Not using dead keys, but if I get problems with my XCompose usually ibus is to blame. I've uninstalled and locked it...

Does this mean I can get rid of ibus in Leap 15.4? With 15.3, I lost the compose keys for some reason (never figured it out), and installing ibus was the only way I could get them back.

Sorry, it wasn't compose keys that went missing -- it was unicode character entry, Ctrl/Shift-U<xxxx>.
