I can reproduce this XIM problem on a system which was upgraded to 16.04, but not on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04. However: If I create and switch to a new user, the problem is not present. In other words: Some leftovers from previous version(s) in the home directory of my main user prevent the XIM input method from working properly.
Resetting the gtk-im-module gsettings key, as mentioned by Piotr, doesn't help for me. Neither does removing of the whole gsettings database ~/.config/dconf/user For the record: On Ubuntu and most flavors, switching to some other input method can be done from the Language Support GUI. Doing so changes the ~/.xinputrc file instead of removing it. ** Summary changed: - Compose and dead keys stopped working + Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573755 Title: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04 Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrading to 16.04, entering characters using dead keys and using the Compose key stopped working in Gnome Terminal, acting like they are normal (non-dead) keys.
