Bug Description
I'm running an up-to-date Ubuntu Focal. I have a standard Spanish keyboard. Under X, if I try to input an accentuated character, such as á or ü, in places like the search field in the overview or when writing a folder name in the app grid, nothing appears. Under Wayland, it fails each time on the first input of an accentuated character, then it works.
