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,

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

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?

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.

Still present in snapshot 20220617.

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.
