Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, this is a complex problem to solve.At the protocol level, X clients really are being told about keypress/release events (i.e. Windows WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP messages map in some way to X11 KeyPress/KeyRelease events)
Now, there is a possible mechanism to tell X clients about characters, like the WM_CHAR messages being sent by WinCompose, which is XIM, and there was some long-ago work in that area [1], but it's not included in current X servers.
Have you tried opening an issue in the WinCompose issue tracker? They might be able to code a workaround.Somebody beat me to it. Unfortunately with not much result. https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose/issues/132
In the short term, some sort of feature in WinCompose where it turns itself off for specified windows might be easier.
