Hi thanks 4 your help!

Here is information.

Fix is ready, yet need exception flags to be set as +

Is the fix already in Fedora?

From Jul 15 RHEL meeting:

REPORTER: ddumas
STATUS:   Update from jens.  Worked with dchen to get it done but dchen
          didn't follow process.  It's in nightly. 
REPORTER: dgregor
STATUS:   Tagged ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714-1.el6 for next Snapshot 8
          compose.
REPORTER: sly
STATUS:   Changed status to MODIFIED.

Oh, just realize it is same thing that upstream issue 993 trying to address.
(http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=993)

Basically, the default behaviors of down arrow in ibus-chewing are:

1) In editing mode (preedit buffer is not empty, candidate window is not shown),
open the candidate window.

2) In selection mode (candidate window is shown),
Show the candidate with different length.

Assuming the "Select for back" is on.
For example, when typing "gj bj4 z83" (輸入法),
Press down arrow first time will show the "輸入法" as candidate,
the second time will show the "法" and its homophone such as 髮、砝。

Thus. it is not really a bug. 
Still, as the default behavior is not intuitive to new users,
I may need to do at least one of the followings:
1) Documentation on the keybindings/behaviors  of ibus-chewing.
2) An option that enable the key binding that Kenichi Takemura  and zorg
   expected.

Documentations(release notes) should be updated regarding this key behaviours.

FailedQA?

There is a flag requires_release_note for requesting relnotes.
Not sure why the bug state was reset?

(Currently we have not documented ibus hotkeys or shortcuts at all
in the relnotes - perhaps we should?)

Anyway, Ding-Yi: please describe the change in Technical Notes box, as requested by PM.

Ding-Yi: Any update regarding rel-note?

The usage and hot keys are documents in both README include in this package,
and http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/ChewingUserGuide

Regards,

I checked the README of 'ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714-1.el6.i686'
But It does not seem to have appropriate descriptions about Key down like http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/ChewingUserGuide(This is OK).

Can you tell me where the README location is?

$ rpm -q ibus-chewing
ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714-1.el6.i686

$ cat /usr/share/doc/ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714/README
ibus-chewing
It is a Chinese input engine for IBus.

It is released under GPLv2, see COPYING for detail.

See INSTALL for installation instruction.

Ah, I made a stupid mistake.
The file should be USER-GUIDE, not README.

I'll update README to reflect this change.

Can you produce an url to the file for QA?

Takemura-san, I think you have to make do with the URL above for now.

I understood. Thank you Ding-Yi and Jens for your support.

Moving this bug to VERIFIED.
