After entering a key after a dead key, the dead key glyph should disappear from the cursor.
Every time I enter a key after a dead key, the dead key glyph follows the cursor around until I press Backspace, which deletes the dead key glyph *and* the last letter I typed.
Please, see a video of the bug here: https:/
This doesn’t happen in any other Gnome application that I’ve tried.

After some experimentation I’ve narrowed this bug to X11/Xorg. It doesn’t happen in Wayland.
