Research direction

Start by reproducing the dead-key behavior on Mint 22.3 with the English (EUA, international, dead keys) layout, then compare it with the previous version. Done means apostrophe plus c produces ç, and apostrophe plus C produces Ç, rather than ć or Ć.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Mint 22.3
Keyboard English (EUA,int, with dead keys)

The cecedil key ' + key c (c+') now is ć

In the previous version work correctly key ´ + key c (c+') is cedilla

The same happens with the ' + C turns Ć

If I use the Timeshift to return for the previous version, all work again, but if I update again to 22.3 the bug ocorrus again.
