This menu entry was previously unselected.  I selected it, and the
behaviour remains unchanged.  Ie. Alt-b still generates â.

The results from xev when pressing Alt-b, are:

KeyPress event, serial 17, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 944035290, (120,91), root:(267,161),
    state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 944036182, (120,91), root:(267,161),
    state 0x8, keycode 56 (keysym 0x62, b), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "b"
