I tried in my stable box running Xfce but cannot seem to reproduce it.
Can you try to create a new user and try to reproduce it there?

Also, it looks like the way I use compose key maybe a bit different: say
I want to input `á', I type the compose key (I used "Caps Lock" for
testing) and a small floating window shows up, and I type `'' and `a' to
create á, and the floating window disappears.  I'm not sure whether it's
the same sequence of input for you.  I guess as you said, screenshots
for each steps for you to reproduce the issue will also be helpful.
