Comment 24 for bug 1573755

I've got this problem on Linux Mint 18 Xfce (sorry...), German keyboard, for kde based apps, ever since I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.

konsole and kate are the applications where it hurts most.

Neither Compose key+accent+char nor typing the accent, then the char, work for me

(I only need ^, ´ and `, which work fine in other apps. I'd like to be able to use regexes in kate and write the occasional French translation...).

@Pierre: our problems appear similar. Did you find a solution?
