Research direction

Start in the Quick Accent settings and reproduce the issue by enabling only Spanish and German symbols, then holding the "e" key on PowerToys 0.100.0. Done means the pop-up shows only "é" with the configured symbols and no "€" entry; use the attached PowerToys report ZIP if more diagnostics are needed.
