I've just reproduced this with 2.26 and 2.28 while testing if the 2.28 update
was fine. The reason (pointed out by Mario Lang) was that at-spi-registryd
wasn't running (it should be if you have a11y enabled). Is it running for you
when hitting this bug? If you launch it (I did it by going to
gnome-at-properties and disabling and enabling "Enable a11y technology"), does
it work? The buttons should then work, and the keyboard itself is in compose.
