Subject: 24.3; Weird behavior with dead chars
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:33:17 +0200

Hi,
I encounter an odd behavior using emacs under Linux. When I type a dead
key like ~ (dead-tilde) or ` (dead-grave) I get the error "<dead-tilde
is undefined>" (where dead-tilde is the name of the dead chars).

What is really weird is that if I open the keybinding help (C-h b) I can
then type everything correctly until I exit the current session.

I tried to launch emacs with -q parameter in case the problem was from
my personnal configuration but the problem persist.

I am using the bépo (dvorak for french) keyboard layout [0] but I have
the same error if I switch to the swiss-french layout.
