I still have the trouble with some other gnome application on buster.

Does not seem to be the case in all cases.

I even have 3 differents sources :
- UK English (en),
- French (fr1),
- Macintosh French (fr2).

I generally use the last one since my Purism Librem-13 keyboard is a
UK keyboard and that I am used to the French (Macintosh) layout (my
previous laptop were Macintosh).

That is also what I get.

That is also what I get.

The trouble is using it with the CTRL key.

In gedit (or evince) with the "fr" or "fr2" input source when I try to
close the current document or leave the tool I type the CTRL key and
the key labelled Z (which in the "fr" layout mean W). Nothings
happens.

If I want to have the "close document" action happened, I need to type
the CTRL key and the key labelled W (which in the "fr" and "fr2"
layout mean Z).

It seems that with the CTRL key the input source is not respected.

This behavior is nor the one expected, nor the one I got with other
application (such as Firefox-ESR).

I am now using the buster pool on the basic X installation. So I am
not sure that the trouble comes from Wayland.
