If I have the qwerty us keyboard activated pressing this key results in

normally you press "¨" once and nothing appears, then if you press a, it comes

try various editors/toolkits....
test with a new user, you can use kuser for that.
ask in the forum for suse (?),

Yes I know this is what happened before, but not now!
try various editors/toolkits....
Did that already
test with a new user, you can use kuser for that.
Also done, does not work, very strange.

Ubuntu it should be the forum, but I thought this is a trinity issue?
For you it works? What is you underlying distribution

Ah, it works with LO OO and with xterm, but not anymore with kde konsole
and worse it does not work anymore with seamonkey or thunderbird.
Not sure what to do?

ok, i think i solved your problem.
keyboard layout > xkb options
pick a "compose key position" that suites you
for example left winkey, then....
win+"+a = ä
if that doesn't work, go kill a kitten.

Thanks a lot, but it does not work neither. It works in LO, but not in
any other application. Must be a ubuntu issue but I did not find a solution.

I tried out xev in order to see whats up: when I pressed the key in question,
It's shift+ the key two keys to the right of L
having us/international activated I obtained
KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic, NO, window 0x5a0001
state 0x2001, keycode 0 (keysym 0xa8, diarersis), same_screen Yes
XMBLookupstring gives 2 bytel (c2 a8) "¨"
Is this helpful?
BTW I obtain the same result for US alt-intl

So I finally found out that this is a bug in Ubuntu
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DeadKeys
The best workaround seems to be
Disable input methods globally if you don’t use them (this won’t prevent
e.g. the XKB-set Compose key from working), by adding this line to your
~/.xinputrc:
run_im none
And everything is fine again.
