Seems to be related to #2105
Normal open
Dead keys works in all the system: gedit, firefox, libreoffice and others.
Up to a weeks ago (01/08/20 more or less) Geany was working ok. With no changes on Geany but the normal system updates now Geany behaves in a different way:
Verbose
In verbose mode (geany -v) I can see this message when I press a dead key on the Editor:
Gdk-Message: 18:46:05.005: Window 0x55ba970a1380 is a temporary window without parent, application will not be able to position it on screen.
It doesn't matter which dead key, all the time is the same message (timestamp updated).
No message when a dead key is pressed on Draft or Terminal, there just works ok.
XMODIFIERS
Setting XMODIFIERS to @im=none
have no difference on the behavior of the dead keys. Again the error message on the Editor and works ok on Draft and Terminal
XMODIFIERS="@im=none" geany -v
Force X11
When forced to X11 the Editor comes back to work ok:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 geany -v
No error messages. The behavior is ok on Editor, Draft and Terminal.
WORKAROUND
As pointed out on #2105, seems like the workaround is to force X11 on the bashrc file to use Geany normally.
Just add this line to your .bashrc file:
export GDK_BACKEND=x11
To be improved
Maybe the Editor need the same component or behavior like Draft.
