Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This bug exists on two systems that I have tried: Debian GNU/Linux
ix86 and SPARC/Solaris.  It apparently does not affect the Windows
port.  It has existed for some time, I think since the 21.0.x pretest
series.

Start emacs as an X window and enter iso-accents-mode.  Whenever you
type a composite character, for example `" SPC' for the `"' character,
the mouse cursor becomes the wristwatch shape and the usual mouse
functions cease to work.  Everything reverts to normal at the next RET
or C-SPC or C-p or certain other actions.  Normal typing of text,
however, does not cause the mouse to resume functioning.
