I usually use two keyboard layout, plain `English (US)`, and `Englis (US, intl. with dead keys)` in order to type `'` and press `e`, to make this: `é`.

It worked in many distributions (including Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives) for many years, now on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS I have problems. The layout `US Intl. with dead keys` work as the plain US layout: I can not type `é`.

Even the `Englis (US, intl. with AltGr dead keys)` does not work properly. I obtain `é` by pressing `AltGr+e`, but if I press `AltGr+'` followed by `e` I obtain `'e`. This means that the switching of keyboard layouts is working properly.

Note that `Englis (UK, intl. with dead keys)` works properly, the problem is specifically related to `Englis (US, intl. with dead keys)`

The bug seems not to be related to hardware since I tested with different USB wired keyboards.

Removing ~/.xinputrc has solved the problem for me.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome 3.36.3
and on PopOS 20.04 with Gnome 3.36.3

Issue open here: https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1306

I can use type accent in Chrome, gnome-terminal, gedit and others applications

but not in overview and in Steam.

So it's pretty annoying.

I hope Ubuntu will fix this issue as soon as possible.

The problem doesn't not occured in my Fedora and in my ArchLinux
but they use Gnome 3.38

For me it's a Gnome related bug because it was working well with Gnome 3.36.2
