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.)
