I have the same problem in karmic. However, the bug doesn't happen when one selects "X Input Method" as input method (you can change it by right-clicking on a textbox and choose from the "Input Methods" submenu). By default, karmic (and probably jaunty too) uses IBus. As a workaround, you can add "export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim" to /etc/environment.
The drawback is that I face another bug using XIM in gedit: whenever I use a hotkey (for example Alt+... to access menus), the Compose key completely stops working afterwards. To make it work again, I have to reselect XIM from the input methods menu. -- libx11-data: compose ellipsis problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415667 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
