<p>Solved! I tried it only today. I have been using my custom
script and shortcut all these days. I hope it was solved because
I install all updates regularly, and not because of any tweaks
that I made (then only we can say the bug was fixed). But
wait... I had changed a file after reading that bug report and
reply. I remember that having some positive changes. So somebody
else has to check it on a fresh system.<br>

Also, what happened to GNOME Character Map? I opened it
(or its<br>
replacement) to get the codepoint of ൗ to edit the xkb
file to replace the<br>
old ൗ with െ. I was disappointed. Without searching
explicitly, you can't<br>
browse any non-English letters (even after selecting some
Malayalam<br>
fonts).<br>
