Description Qingyu Wang 2005-09-07 08:47:36 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; zh-CN; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Red Hat/1.0.6-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
I add a "Mini-Commander" in my Panel. Once I invoke scim in the "Mini-Commander" I can't input anything, even can't input English letters. Also, I can't switch off scim by keyboard. It seems that it is the same bug as what in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2006, and it is true that when I use XIM "Mini-Commander" can't recieve any key event. Yet the same problem didn't happen when I use IIIMF. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a "Mini-Commander" to Panel from Panel menu
2. activate scim 
3. try to input anyting in "Mini-Commander" and you will find no response at all
4. try to switch off scim by keyboard "Ctrl+Space", failed
  

Actual Results:  "Mini-Commander" is no response to keyboard input

Expected Results:  "Mini-Commander" recieves keyboard input normally

Comment 2 Leon Ho 2005-09-08 01:28:47 UTC

Thanks Qingyu for the report. Jens will look into this bug.

Comment 3 Warren Togami 2005-09-08 11:26:21 UTC

The next logical step is to rebuild xorg-x11 using that patch and test if it works.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2005-09-28 08:43:01 UTC

I can't reproduce this in FC devel.

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2005-09-28 09:22:53 UTC

I tested a little more:

So with gtk immodule, I can input ascii when scim is turned off and on.
When I switch to xim I can still input until turning on scim, when
input is locked until I turn it off from the scim menu again.

Comment 6 Qingyu Wang 2005-11-15 07:07:51 UTC

With more test I find this bug happens when I unset the env variable
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim. But with this variable setting, there is still a similar
bug.  In the Mini-Commander, scim can't be invoked and deactivated by
[Ctrl]+[Space] but just can be invoked by mouse from menu. And once I invoke
scim in the "Mini-Commander" I can't input Chinese with scim. I can just input
English letters.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2005-12-20 08:43:05 UTC

Moving to FC5Target since only happens under xim which is not
used for the gnome-panel.

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2005-12-20 09:17:33 UTC

Reassigning to libX11 owner based on upstream bug in original report.

Comment 9 Mike A. Harris 2006-01-27 11:18:14 UTC

The bug was fixed in CVS head, in March 2005, so it should be present in
X11R7, which is in rawhide now.

Patch makes sense to me, so I went ahead and committed it to head:
