Tell me more ×  I have set Caps Lock to work as the compose key,
and I'm using the "English (Dvorak international with dead
keys)" keyboard layout*. After upgrading to 13.04, I now see the
same symptoms on two very different machines (custom desktop and
Samsung laptop): Some time after logging in, seemingly at random
and often after many hours of use, the compose key suddenly
becomes permanently active for the grave accent (aka.
"backtick") and typewriter apostrophe keys. Any apostrophes in
this article had to be cut and pasted, since '+' produces a
single acute accent (´) character and Shift-'+Shift-' produces a
single diaeresis (¨) character.  What could cause this, and how
do I fix it?  * By mistake (maybe I added the wrong layout or
the OS reset it); I usually use the "English (Dvorak alternative
international no dead keys)" layout. I'll check if this happens
with the latter as well.  share|improve this question add
