Description Jens Petersen 2022-05-17 07:32:06 UTC

Description of problem:
For Gnome 42 (Fedora 36) gtk4 was fixed to default to use
the Wayland input protocaol rather than the ibus-gtk4 immodule for Wayland sessions.
This bug is to request backporting these changes to RHEL9.

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4699 for details.

I am not completely sure which 4.6.x release this landed in.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ibus-gtk4
2. start gtk4-demo-application
3. try to input Korean with ibus-hangul

Actual results:
3. it is not possible to enter newlines, delete input with backspace, or move the cursor with arrow keys in Hangul input mode.

Expected results:
3. Gnome Wayland should prefer the Wayland input protocol over the ibus gtk4 immodule.

Additional info:
Not that for this reason we currently don't ship ibus-gtk4 in RHEL9,
however we need it to enable ibus input in gtk4 apps under Gnome Xorg,
so fixing this is a prerequisite for shipping ibus-gtk4 in RHEL9.

I reproduced the bug. Then tried with new versions: 'Enter', 'Backspace' and arrow keys work now as should.
