Comment 9 for bug 1251176

I put the line

(require 'iso-transl)

into my .emacs file - no difference . The dead keys remain dead.

What I do not understand: Nobody seems to have a reliable workaround. Just some are lucky. I am not. But ` is important if you write LaTeX: You need it when processing a LaTeX code leads an error message, to see what is wrong. So I guess MANY people will have problems from this dead keys behaviour. And this nasty phenomenon is not qualified as a bug? It is a regular feature? I have been using emacs every day for many years but never had any problem with ` , apart from the last weeks. It is extremely annoying.
