I'm using an Azerty French Keyboard, where the backtick is the grave accent on the 7 key (Alt + 7) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY#/media/File:KB_France.svg">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY#/media/File:KB_France.svg</a><span style="margin-top:20px; padding-top:5px"></span><br>
(I call it the backtick, because it's also the character I type for markdown code formatting like `myObject.Fcn()`. But maybe I give it a bad name?)<br>
<br>
Whatever, I'm sure that typing the ` under my 7 key followed by an A should return an À, like it once did, and that it doesn't do that anymore.<br>
And I am also sure that it doesn't do that anymore since the bug that happened and affected the dead keys, and that its fix isn't complete.<br>

It would be helpful to run the "im-config" tool, and copy/paste the text<br>
that it displays into a reply to this bug report. What I get in a test<br>
virtual machine is:<br>
<br>
Current configuration for the input method:<br>
* Default mode defined in /etc/default/im-config: 'auto'<br>
* Active configuration: 'missing' (normally missing)<br>
* Normal automatic choice: 'ibus' (normally ibus or fcitx5)<br>
* Override rule: 'zh_CN,fcitx5:zh_TW,fcitx5:zh_HK,fcitx5:zh_SG,fcitx5'<br>
* Current override choice: '' (Locale='en_GB')<br>
* Current automatic choice: 'ibus'<br>
* Number of valid choices: 1 (normally 1)<br>
* Desktop environment: 'GNOME'<br>
The configuration set by im-config is activated by re-starting the system.<br>
Explicit selection is not required to enable the automatic<br>
configuration, if the active one is default/auto/cjkv/missing.<br>
<br>
but your result is presumably different.<br>
<br>
I attempted to reproduce this problem in a virtual machine with:<br>
<br>
* Debian 12<br>
* GNOME<br>
* German keyboard layout (configured in Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources):<br>
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ#/media/File:German-Keyboard-Layout-T2-Version1-large.png<br>
* gnome-text-editor or Libreoffice Writer as the application<br>
<br>
GNOME uses ibus as its input method for most languages, including English<br>
and German. ibus is the input method that was affected by #1070745.<br>
<br>
I was unable to reproduce the bug with this combination of settings:<br>
<br>
When I press the key that would be printed with acute [´] and grave [`]<br>
accents on a German keyboard (2 positions to the right of the [0] key),<br>
the application displays the accent with an underline (acute accent<br>
´ U+00B4 if I do not use Shift, or grave accent/backtick ` U+0060 if I use<br>
Shift). When I press Shift+[A], the underlined accent gets replaced by<br>
Á or À, as appropriate.<br>
<br>
If I want to type `A with that keyboard layout, I have to press:<br>
Shift+[`], Space, Shift+[A].<br>
<br>
I do not regularly use keyboard layouts that include dead keys, but to<br>
the best of my knowledge, what I described is the expected behaviour<br>
for keyboard layouts that include dead keys. If you would have expected<br>
something different, please describe it.<br>
<br>
If this is not the result that you see, please describe what is different<br>
about your system or how I can reproduce the problem.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
