Weird problem with Linux, Planck and the international dead keys configuration.
Post Body

Hi, I'm having a problem with my keyboard, it was working correctly until few day ago.

I've a Plank, it is attached to a laptop with Arch Linux. It is configured as US international with dead keys.

This is my xorg configuration: Section "InputClass" Identifier "OLKB Plank" MatchUSBID "3297:c6cf" MatchIsKeyboard "True" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" "intl" EndSection

Now the problem is that I cannot input the single quote anymore in some softwares. Usually I press ´ space and it appears the ', now if I press ´ space I just get ´. I can still input letters like é using ´ e the double quotes also works correctly, if I press " space. The only thing that it doesn't work is the single quote.

The weird thing is that it depends on the software inside the Telegram Client or urxvtc I can input correctly the single quote, in other softwares like chrome, waterfox or vscode I can't.

I've noticed that the only way to input a single quote is to press the AltGr on my laptop keyboard and the ' so I can get the single quote. The problem is that I don't have the AltGr on my keyboars (and I would like to avoid to map it on my Planck) and it was working correctly until few days ago.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: it is not just a Plank problem, it happens also on my laptop but there I can "solve" using the AltGR key

Edit 2: checking the file /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose I've found this <dead_acute> <space> : "'" apostrophe # APOSTROPHE so it should work, it is like that some softwares are not reading the compose file
