[arch-general] Weird accented letters in gnome testing

Hello, general list!

I've recently upgrade to the gnome-unstable and now gnome-testing and I
noticed that some accented letters (á, é, ñ) are sometimes not printed
correctly.

Curiously enough other times they are correct. I think that the difference
is in the Unicode compositing, because when it is printed wrongly, it shows
the normal character and the compositing character as two separated glyphs:

* Precomposed character: OK.
* Normal character plus compositing character: Wrong.

For example, in the "Regional & Language" settings in "LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
gnome-control-center", the word "Español", is printed correctly as a
language, but incorrectly as a "Input source". In the latter it shows
"Espan~ol" where the "~" is actually a big dotted circle with a tilde on
top.

Is this a known issue? Or a bug?

TY
