Bug#1004363: ibus: pops up window with accent mark
Brian,
Are you using ibus module for "English (int., with AltGr dead key)".
Since I use GNOME/Wayland I can't be sure but all non-GNOME system configures ibus
with "ibus-setup". There may be configuration option there.
What was your intended system configuration. If it is a good old Pure-X way without
ibus on non-GNOME, then you have to unload ibus. GNOME pull in this if you installed
it previously.

Are you using Wayland? I'm using Xorg, so perhaps that's why we're
seeing different behavior.

Killing ibus-daemon stops it from happening. All the subsidiary
processes exit when that happens as well, so it might be a different
IBus process. To help troubleshooting, here's a listing of what's
running from IBus when I see it:
$ ps ax | grep ibus
1198762 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --daemonize --xim
1198776 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-dconf
1198778 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-ui-gtk3
1198781 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/libexec/ibus-extension-gtk3
1198787 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon
1198790 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-portal
1198876 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-simple
All of those are gone after I send a SIGTERM to ibus-daemon, and the
problem disappears as well.

Absolutely. I've attached one. It's very small, but distracting when
I'm typing a long text in Spanish or French. What I've typed in the
screenshot is Compose (that is, Windows) and the apostrophe.

The key I use is the Windows key. Temporarily setting right Ctrl shows
the same behavior.
