Bug Description
I'm running Ubuntu 15.04, but this problem happened in Ubuntu 14.10 too, AFAIK.
The problem does not happen on Ubuntu 14.04.
Using the US (international, with dead keys) keyboard layout, I should be able to write é by pressing the single quote ( ' ) key, after that, the e key.
Whenever I do this in Ubuntu 15.04, the 'dead' key is not dead; instead it immediately prints the ´ sign. That means that when I try to write é, I'll get: ´e.
This happens for other letter combinations, too, for instance: ´o, ´a, ¨e, ¨u.
I found out that I can type é by pressing AltGr + e, but I'd rather have the dead keys working again.
I found this bug hard to report using ubuntu-bug or apport-bug, so let me know if I can help you by running some commands.
