That doesn't seem to be the mode I'm encountering. 1. Typing C-\ prompts me for an input method name. I've never seen that before (and I don't _think_ I just missed seeing it by typing too fast). 2. Enabling an input method with C-\ adds characters (e.g., "U+" for method "ucs") to the mode line. The symptoms I was experiencing did not include any change to the mode line. 3. With an input method enabled by C-\ (at least using the "ucs" and "spanish-prefix" methods), Emacs displays the first character (underlined) as soon as I type it. The symptom I was experiencing is that the display doesn't change at all until I type the next character. Any other ideas? Is there some earlier layer of input methods in Emacs? (It does not appear to be something in Windows. When one Emacs instance is exhibiting those symptoms, I can run another copy of Emacs and that second copy works normally.)
