(Get the code!)
In Fedora 10's rawhide and Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4 the Congo DRC layout is broken. Combining diacritics keys have somehow become deadkeys. The symbol file hasn't changed so something went wrong in the way it is interpreted.
For example, previously pressing the U+0301 key would actually produce U+0301. Now it doesn't do anything but acts as a deadkey, so if followed by a key of a character with precomposed acute accent existing that one is produced.
Ex: press ɛ key followed by U+0301 key ... nothing after ɛ
press ɛ key followed by U+0301 key and then e, the result is ɛé
What is expected is ɛ́ always.
This is serious as combining diacritics are absolutely required because strings like ɛ́ can only be represented with them.
