From: Julio Faracco <jcfaracco@xxxxxxxxx> commit 903bd067faa837fddb6e5c8b740c3374dc582f04 upstream. The function `xbc_show_list should` handle the keys during the composition. Even the errors returned by the compose function. Instead of removing the `ret` variable, it should save the value and show the exact error. This missing variable is causing a compilation issue also.
