I found that I had selected keyboard format as "US International".
Things are working fine when I change it back to "US English" layout.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
I have installed FC6 on my Compaq nx6110 laptop. I was earlier using
RHEL4 and there was no issue at all.
With FC6 I am facing some issue with my keyboard when I type characters
like " (double quote), ' (single quote), ~ (tilde), ` (back quote) etc.
These characters wont appear as soon as I type then. But if I press
<space key> following these characters, then they appear.
I had enabled some regional languages during installation, which had
installed some package called "SCIM". I suspected the problem with the
package and uninstalled it, but it didnt help.
Has anyone come across the same problem? Is there any known issue?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shridhar

Sounds like "dead keys" are active. With "dead keys" you are able to type
characters like n~ or e'.
Where do you have this problems? KDE? Gnome? Or on the console? Both KDE
and Gnome have their own keyboard managers which are responsible for the
layouts. If you expect those troubles on the console, use
system-config-keyboard to change the keyboard layout and deactivate the
dead keys.
