scrcpy: (1.16) (Linux) the "--prefer-text" parameter does not work

To start scrcpy, on linux, I use the following command: scrcpy -S -b2M -m800 --prefer-text however, “--prefer-text” doesn’t work, it’s like I didn’t add it there, so when I want to put an accent, it doesn’t work … for example: instead of being “ã”, he writes “~ a”. I don’t know if it is a bug or not in this version but this is the first time I use Scrcpy on Linux.

I’m using Linux with “English - International with dead keys” keyboard layout and the --prefer-text stopped working in version 1.16 for me too. Everything worked correctly when I was using 1.14, but now the behavior is the same with or without the parameter.

Combination	Expected (1.14)	Now (1.16)
`'` + `e`	é	e
`'` + `c`	ç	c
`~` + `a`	ã	~a
`^` + `e`	ê	^e

adb shell input text ç correctly sends ç, but every other letter I wrote on the above table doesn’t, unfortunately.
