Description Naoki 2011-02-23 05:56:55 UTC

Description of problem:
The contact search wherein you type a name and the contact list is reduced until finding the specific entry fails when ibus input method is enabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Empathy 2.32.2 (but I've seen this on F13 and possibly before).

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start empathy IM client and search contacts.
2. Enable iBUS input method (leave set to US)
3. Attempt a contact search.
  
Actual results:
No input is accepted and no contact filtering takes place.
If I "Quit" the input method selector it works without need to restart empathy.

Expected results:
A reduced contact list and successful search.

Additional info:
ibus-gtk2-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-libs-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-anthy-1.2.5-3.fc14.x86_64

For what it's worth as well pidgin does not display this behavior. Searching for contacts by simply typing the name (alias) works regardless of ibus being active or not.

Happy to report this is fixed in F15;
empathy-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 12:12:00 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
