Package: ptyxis
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I few weeks ago I found myself unable to enter special chars (ã, ~, ê) 
in GTK4 apps and ptyxis in particular.

I did found out it was due to a change in GTK 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7740 and after installing 
the "ibus" stack everything was back to normal; or that's what I thought.

In the ptyxis case, it's working fine but only in the first tab, I'm 
unable to type special chars in newly opened tabs.

As you can see in the linked bugreport, upstream GTK devs seems "pretty 
confident" that their change is good, so I suppose the issue is in ptyxis.

br,
Sébastien
