I got a Microsoftish answer on the bug, it's quite annoying: "But Compose key never has been AltGR" and marked the bug as invalid. F**k!
You can not put compose on AltGr. I think. That key works differently, see below.
In the last 20 years I always used altGr for that. It always worked. And now this guy wants to tell me that all of those 20 years I put those characters in my fantasy only. Extremely poor service, I'd say.
He wrote another answer that I do not understand.
Ok, you wrote on the bug:
+++............ I use(d) alt-gr + key + second key for some special characters:
alt-gr + ´ + i = í alt-gr + ~ + n = ñ
This doesn't work anymore. it simply types the accent or tilde and the character on the next position (´i, ~n). ............++-
But that is not how AltGr works here, on all my (Spanish) computers. Examples
AltGr + e = € AltGr + z = « AltGr + 4 = ~
AltGr + n = n AltGr + o = ø
It is different from compose. What you describe is the working of the compose key, set on the AltGr key.
Yes, I now learned the difference between a modifier and a compose key. Actually also on my keyboard altGr works as a modifier key: altGr + ä = { altGr + ü = [ altGr + e = € altGr + ' = ´ altGr + ^ = ~ BUT ´ and ~ have only been printed after entering a second character and only then the combination was shown: altGr + ^ = (nothing happens) n = ñ To have a ~ only, I had to enter altGr+^ followed by a space. So what I want and need is that after entering altGr+^ (~) or altGr+' (´) it waits for the second key and then gives the combination.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ#/media/File:KB_Swiss.svg
(could you post a photo of your keyboard layout? Perhaps Google has it).
I suggest you do the following.
Edit "/etc/X11/Xmodmap", make a backup, and change only this line:
!! Fourth example: Make Menu key on WIN95 keyboard doing Compose keysym Menu = Multi_key
Look at the photo of an Spanish keyboard: <https://images.app.goo.gl/yQpfVsZHMypwQqi58>
The above changes the key to the left of the right-[Ctrl] key. It is the contextual menu. Ideally it would be better the next key to its left, the Windows key, but I do not know its name for the file.
Notice that there is a command "xmodmap" to do instant changes for this session, that you can play with.
