Description stuart mcgraw 2011-07-25 16:22:57 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

I use ibus-anthy for entering Japanese text and
also use Emacs.  Because cntl-space (control space)
has meaning in Emacs, in Ibus I removed cntl-space 
as a shortcut for "Enable or disable" in Ibus 
preferences.  I added alt-space instead.

With this change, ibus works as expected (cntl-space
has no effect on input mode and alt-space toggles 
between english and japanese input modes.)

However, when I run "emacs -nw" in a gterm window, 
it no longer responds to cntl-space.  Emacs run as 
a separate window (without the -nw option) responds 
to cntl-space as expected.  If I do in main Gnome3 
desktop:
 System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts tab -> 
 Windows (shorcuts) -> Activate the window menu -> 
 set to cntl-space.
the gterm window will respond to cntl-space.

However the problem is not (at least exclusively) with
emacs because quitting ibus restores normal response to
cntl-space in emacs.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change ibus preferences to remove cntl-space from
  the toggle enable/disable shortcut list. 
2. Run "emacs -nw" in a gterm window.
3. Type cntl-space.  Note that the expected response,
  a message in the status line at bottom of screen that
  says "mark set" does not appear.
4. Quit ibus.
5. Repeat step 3.  Note that this time the mark is set
  and a status line message occurs indicating that. 

Actual Results:  
When I bus is running, emacs does not appear to
see cntl-space key presses.  When ibus is not 
running emacs receives and responds to cntl-space 
key presses appropriately.


Expected Results:  
When cntl-space has been disabled as an ibus
shortcut, Emacs should see and respond to cntl-space
key presses whether or not ibus is running.

Comment 1 Takayuki Ogawa 2011-07-26 15:25:49 UTC 
This bug is reproduced on my computer, too.
I could not type Ctrl+Space in not only Emacs but also Eclipse.

This bug don't occur when I use 1.3.99.20110419-9 packages,
ibus-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64.rpm
ibus-gtk2-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64.rpm
ibus-gtk3-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64.rpm
ibus-libs-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64.rpm

but the bug is reproduced in 1.3.99.20110419-10 packages,
ibus-1.3.99.20110419-10.fc15.x86_64.rpm
ibus-gtk2-1.3.99.20110419-10.fc15.x86_64.rpm

Oh, I forgot ibus-anthy-1.2.6-2 was integrated in f15.
I guess if you remove "hotkeys" tag in /usr/share/ibus/component/anthy.xml and restart ibus, your problem will be fixed.
I will update ibus-anthy soon.
