Hi,

I am having this strange problem with Chromium. I cannot type any of the following accent marks: ` ´ and ¨, or any character with them, for example ü. This happens everywhere within chromium: in the address bar, text boxes, etc. My keyboard is properly configured and the characters work in any other program (I am writing this using Firefox and it works). Any other special character works, I have tried all of them, and these are the only three that I could find not working. Also, I have tried writing the characters in another program, for example an email in Evolution, copying them and pasting them into Chromium, and it works. Currently, I have =www-client/chromium-105.0.5195.52 installed.

Does anyone have a clue about what could be happening?

Thanks for your help.

seems to be a bug:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=279382

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1346881

i use ungoogled-chromium form pf4public only for streaming and don't have this typing problem, but i get these error messages too.
Code:
[4531:4531:0907/144516.456901:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(269)] Gdk: gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state: assertion 'GDK_IS_KEYMAP (keymap)' failed

Thanks a lot for your reply. I believe that was the issue, and it is now fixed.
