[Bug 1908991] Re: Compose key doesn't work after a while

[Dan Streetman]

this doesn't seem to have anything to do with systemd, and it sounds
like you're manually configuring the key, so it's not clear to me what
the problem is. your manual configuration was removed after a kernel
update, or something else?

Title:
  Compose key doesn't work after a while

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I attached my M-TECH keyboard to USB 2.0 hub connected to USB 2.0 port
  on my laptop. I also attached my mouse to the same hub.

  On kernels up to 5.9, compose key (which I defined as Right
  Super/Right Win) worked for a while, and then did not work (no
  accented letter inserted when typing right sequence). For example,
  instead of à I got `a.

  On 5.10 kernel (I reported this bug using custom-compiled 5.10.1
  kernel), compose key does not work initially.

  The workaround is to open Tweaks and redefine compose key to the same
  key.
