Comment 6 for bug 155780

The same thing happened under English(US) session with a Swedish
keyboard. But after I change some settings of SCIM, problem solved.

Right click on the icon of SCIM, choose "SCIM setup", then in
"IMEngine" ->"Global setup" ->"Other", enable "English/European".
After that you'd better restart your session.

Hope it works.
