[Bug 447030] [NEW] compose key for typing accents not working

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I used in Jaunty the "compose" key function in order to type vowels with accents with my USA layout. However in karmic this functionality is not working properly. I've checked in System->Preferences->Keyboard, and the option is enabled, but when I type:
[Compose + ´ ] +[a] I don't obtain anything. It is curious because if I type [Compose + ´ ] +[a]+[a] it appears "å" which is not the correct behavior.

I'm working on a Macbook 4,1.
