Compose fails to generate ≤ and ≥ (only those two! and only in emacs!) |
|

I heavily use compose sequences while writing („CapsLock - >” – and I
get nice „→”).
Since some recent emacs update (version below):
a) I can no longer generate ≤ and ≥ in Emacs
All combinations (Compose >=, Compose >_, Compose _>) end the same:
- after entering Compose > there is floating window hinting ≥
- once I type =, puff, no character in the buffer, nothing.
b) Other Compose combinations I tried work.
In particular Compose => works in Emacs and generates ⇒,
Compose > > makes », Compose - > makes → and so on
(can't guarantee everything works but from dozens of combinations
I use I found only those two to be problematic).
c) In all other applications ≥ and ≤ are properly generated with compose
(tried gedit, terminator, firefox, vscode …)
So, for example, pressing
a Compose < = b Compose < < c
in gedit/code/firefox results in
a≤b«c
while in Emacs results in
ab«c
(and really that, I tried saving file and hex-inspecting it, no
invisible character there).
Problem appeared after some recent update (most likely after I upgraded
to emacs 28 but I am not 100% sure, could be also related to Ubuntu
upgrade).
Problem reproduces in `emacs -Q`
Version I use now:
GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20,
cairo version 1.16.0)
of 2022-05-31
(Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS,
emacs from ppa https://launchpad.net/~kelleyk/+archive/ubuntu/emacs,
KDE Plasma as window manager)
