  (bug#66040)

---

In a working checkout, I do:
emacs -Q
Hit the keys that would insert '^' twice, and I see ^ in the buffer.

I'm used to hit those keys twice, that's not a problem.  The first time
I type I see an indication, in case I want to type something like â.

After the cited commit, I do:
emacs -Q
Hit the keys that would insert '^' once, and I see that indication.  But
then, if I hit it again, Emacs says 'Quit'.  And there's no way for me
to insert ^, or â, or anything like that.

In case it helps, when I try to input ^ xev says:
