I use Ubuntu 18.04 bionic, and I use us(alt-intl) as a keyboard layout for Latin script, because sometimes I need type multilingual texts. Today I got very strange bug: now I cannot use the sign ' (apostrophe). When I press the key <AC11>
assigned to apostrophe, I get nothing. When I press space key after that, I get space. When I press <AC11>
+ e.g. "a", I get "a", not "á". When I press SHIFT + <AC11>
, I also get nothing. So, I can't type " (quotation mark) too.
The website keycode.info tells (pressing <AC11>
): 222, event.key Dead, event.location 0 (General keys), event.which(deprecated) 222, event.code Quote
My /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose has such a rows (nothing abnormal):
# Spacing versions of dead accents
<dead_acute> <space> : "'" apostrophe # APOSTROPHE
<dead_acute> <dead_acute> : "´" acute # ACUTE ACCENT
<Multi_key> <apostrophe> <apostrophe> : "´" acute # ACUTE ACCENT
In addition, when I use AltGr typing with us(alt-intl), it also doesn't work, but when I type Cyrillic texts with ru(udm), AltGr works normally.
Any advices, please.
<AC11> followed by A results in á for me with that layout.
Bug #1573755 comes to mind. For test purposes I suggest that you create an additional user, log in as that user, and find out if the issue is still present.
