Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-12 02:09:23 UTC

No XIM_FORWARD_EVENT sent back from ibus. I'll look into ibus.

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-25 08:59:34 UTC

The above comment is a side-effect, because the XIM_FORWARD_EVENT sent back is usually sent synchronously. so it was the second time event and ibus was just waiting for XIM_SYNC event.

Anyway, I have tracked down this issue. The real issue is that imsettings doesn't support any X events forwarded from the different screen yet, but ibus always sends back the X event without checking that, and set (XKeyEvent *)ev->same_screen to False. i.e. "xkp.xkey.same_screen = False" in _xim_forward_gdk_event in client/x11/main.c. this caused discarding the event in imsettings. I'm still not sure if just forwarding it as is really makes the expected behaviour and have never tested yet how the event is sent when inputing something from another screen. thus, I'd suggest to fix this in ibus as always sending same_screen = False is incorrect at least.

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-25 09:00:49 UTC

s/XIM_SYNC/XIM_SYNC_REPLY/, but anyway.

Comment 4 Peng Huang 2008-09-25 09:10:03 UTC

Setting same_screen = True works. Thanks.

Comment 5 Peng Huang 2008-10-16 02:52:49 UTC

Fixed in ibus-0.1.1.20081016-1.fc10

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 03:02:06 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
