Bug Description

In Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular accented vowels does not work in Italian keyboard.
On my install in English language with Italian keyboard keys of accented vowels works only in gnome-text-editor, in many other apps pressing keys of accented vowels does nothing.
Some apps where I see the problem are nautilus, libreoffice, gedit, firefox
writing a text with accented vowels in gnome-text-editor i can correctly copy the text in libreoffice, gedit... or here prova ààààèèèèùùù but pessing the corresponding keys does nothing

Hello,

I do not have the same problem, yet similar and more serious using the hellenic keyboard. I will see how this will evolve.

Regards!
