Title:
  Behavior of '~' in Spanish keyboard is wrong

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xkeyboard-config” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On Spanish keyboards, whey you hit AltGr+4, a "~" sign is immediately printed. Instead, nothing should be printed until you hit the next key; if the next key you hit is a vowel or any latter that can have a tilde over it, then that character should be produced. For example, if you hit AltGr+4 and then "a", you should get an ã
  In order to type a plain ~ you should have to hit AltGr+4 followed by a space. 
  In other words the character "~" should work the same way as "`", "´" and "¨" and "^" do.

  I'm almost sure this was how it used to work until very recently, so I
  thing this is a regression introduced by some recent update.

  I guess the correct package is not "linux" but I have no idea which
  package it is and how to figure it out.
