Harald W Griesshammer, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19
/product-support/product/optiplex-9020-desktop/drivers an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A12). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  typing speed influences characte displayed

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I type quite fast, with lots of non-latin unicode characters. I set up .XCompose to map <alt> <g> <a> to the Greek letter α, <alt> <g> <b> to the Greek letter β, etc. Typing the first at any speed renders letter α. But one has to noticably slow down to make sure that  <alt> <g> <b> indeed gives β, and not (now typed at full speed) "b". This is not a question of proximity between keyboard keys since <g> <f>, <g> <h>, <g> <v>, etc are as close together as <g> <b> and produce at any speed: φηϖντψ etc.
  I have not checked if the bug exists for non-Greek characters.
