What do you mean in 'set to "off" here?
I know The Anthy Latin mode (_A) does not work with Control+Shift+u.
But I think you can use Control+Shift+u if you type Control+Space, but not Control+j, to disable anthy (Turn off input method) so I wonder if you'd like to use C+S+u with enabled anthy.

I think this is not an ibus issue but a sylpheed issue but I cannot reproduce your problem.
I can type any chars in "To", "Cc" or "Bcc" fields.
Could you attached the screenshot?

% gnome-panel-screenshot --delay 5

Thank you for the prompt (as always) feedback.

Japanese Anthy > Ctrl J

That is correct. Ideally, I would rather stay in the same environment (anthy), and circle input methods when needed, e.g. when I type French (vs. having to turn on-off the input method (Crtl+space) anytime I type in Romaji.

This one's bit odd. On my system, ibus conflicts with Sylpheed's setting; Common prefs>details>other>address book>auto-completion: Automatic. When ibus is on, I can only enter a single character (see print-screen) in the "To", "Cc", "Bcc". The problem does not occur if I set the auto-completion: Start with Tab.

Addition question*:
I haven't been lucky on ibus google group, so I try my luck her:

I use 3 different input languages (US, JP, FR). My notebook(s) is Japanese (JP keyboard). I would like to rely on ibus for the 3 different inputs (and circle them).
- Setting Japanese was no problem
- Setting Canadian French (with your help) was no problem, it only needed to add the French keyboard in the ibus advanced option
- I can't set the US input using the Japanese keyboard (it always default to a US keyboard of some sort).

With my current setting, every time I need to type in English, I must turn ibus off (Ctrl+Space).

*let me know if you want me re-post the last out-of-topic question elsewhere.

I have seen the bug status change, and you must be busy. But, if you find the time to answer my last question: setting ibus with "en_US" input with a "JP" keyboard - can I do it? That would be great.

I still cannot reproduce the sylpheed issue.
I'd ask you to try that issue with a new user account instead of the current user one.

I'll treat this bug for ibus-anthy compose only as RFE.
I think it won't be on time for Fedora 16 release.

Probably I don't understand your question. If you would choose 'English - English (US)' on ibus panel status icon menu, the US layout could be available with your JP physical keyboard.
Please try to use the latest ibus 1.4.0:
# yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing ibus

I guess your issue is moved to bug 742112.

same result, using a new account and another notebook running LXDE spin F-15.

do you do the following steps (see below + the 4 print-screens)?

a. set ibus to "Japanese-anthy" (kana default)
b. switch "Japanese-anthy" off (not ibus input method) using "Ctrl+J" - the language bar switch from ”あ”　to "_A"
c. open sylpheed and create a new message
c.2. in the To field (common prefs > Details > Address book > Automatic (that's the default setting)) enter a first letter e.g. "a", you will see the menu with all your "A" named contacts
c.3 type a second letter, e.g. "b", to narrow the menu with only your "ab..." named contacts - That does not work. a second letter on the "To" field or any address field cannot be entered as long as ibus is set to "japanese-anthy" & sylpheed pref. is set to "auto".
c.4 Change the sylpheed pref from "auto" to "start with tab" you will re-gain the ability to type more than 1 single character in the address field.

I try again.

My default system keyboard layout is "JP", my default language is "en_US"

Ibus Japanese is fine:
I set language: Japanese
Advance pref: keyboard layout "jp"

Ibus Canadian French is also fine:
I set language: French Canadian
Advance pref: keyboard layout "fr_ca"

I have a problem setting ibus in English:
When I set language: English (us), ibus automatically default to the keyboard layout to "en_us".
When I go to advanced pref to change keyboard layout, I can set, e.g. "us_dvorak, en_international,..." but I don't find a way -- in the ibus prefs -- to set language: "English US" and keyboard layout: "jp" (vs. us_en).

Can I do that?

So to sum up, I would like to use ibus set to English (US) input language WITH my "jp" keyboard layout - and that does not work.

I understand what you meant in the other comments by "run the latest ibus" you meant the "testing version", not the "repo version" - I got it know!
