I cannot reproduce your problem. Do you use GTK3 applications? How about setting $GTK_IM_MODULE? % export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus % gedit I think this probably a very tricky bug, it just can't be reproduced so easily and it may not affect all the users. I use XFCE for window manager and hardware is Dell LATITUDE E6510. It doesn't happen all the time, and just not sure when it will happen again. Sometime when I switch window and try to type in something and nothing can't be typed in util I disable the input method.

Which application do you use? Did you install imsettings-xfce ? I cannot reproduce your problem with gedit and gnome-terminal in XFCE Thanks for all your suggestions. I use Firefox, Chrome, Eclipse, terminal mainly. imsettings-xfce was installed. I have been using fedora since RH 9 (not very correct saying). I never have such a problem regarding the Chinese input before 17, I think input method can be applied globally, by application since 17 right? I am really not sure what cause the problem. I won't compalin anything if purely English keyboard typing is used as standard input except for when Chinese input is enabled. The Chinese input metiod I use is Intelligent Pinyin 1.4.91. Would the problem caused by the change for making input method being able to applied globally, application wise? still happening (Chinese input is enabled), very slow response, tried to type in something here, nothing happen on the screen not even Chinese. This happened when I tried to report here that "Ctrl-V" is still not really working, and the paste action took around 3~5s to get the text actually pasted into the text filed. Could you use `top` to check which program uses the cpu? when it happened top: 24546 xxx 20 0 997m 412m 6072 S 20.6 5.3 44:59.74 emulator-arm 2437 xxx 20 0 3003m 818m 22m S 7.6 10.4 69:41.61 firefox 1258 root 20 0 277m 73m 10m S 0.8 0.9 27:23.96 Xorg 1787 xxx 20 0 470m 5368 3944 S 0.8 0.1 0:47.20 xfdesktop 20432 xxx 20 0 1066m 90m 19m S 0.8 1.2 0:12.38 chrome 29238 xxx 20 0 677m 16m 10m S 0.8 0.2 0:03.24 gnome-terminal ... emulator is the android emualtor, it is always like that no matter if I have this problem or not. Are you able to reproduce your problem with a new user account instead of the current user account? This similar issue happanes in hangul input method, too.

I will try to do this, but you know it is not so easy because new user account means no normal workflow purly for the testing I had tested about 20 minuts with a new acount. It seemed all OK, except that sometimes the input method notification on right top corner system tray showing in Chinese input mode, but acctually not. As I really can't do my work using the new account, it is hard to say whether the problem is caused by some settings of the user by just testing it for only a little while. If you rename $HOME/.cache/dconf/user , are you able to reproduce your problem with your current account? I'd need to know what was changed in your environment. I guess you won't reproduce your problem if you clean up all the dot files in $HOME.

Correction: $HOME/.config/dconf/user instead of $HOME/.cache/dconf/user (In reply to comment #16) > If you rename $HOME/.cache/dconf/user , are you able to reproduce your > problem with your current account? > I'd need to know what was changed in your environment. > I guess you won't reproduce your problem if you clean up all the dot files > in $HOME. After the name change, I had to re-config the Chinese input method in the keyboard layout. But still, the problem is there. Initially, everything seems all right. After using the Chinese typing for a while and constantly swithing between Chinese and English, I found the switching part particularly is quite buggy. After Chinese input was disabled and I tried to get it back, nothing happened on screen when I did ctrl-space and I had to played around with something then came back to make it work again.

Actually I asked two ways. One is to rename $HOME/.config/dconf/user Another is to move all dot files in $HOME, besides $HOME/.config, to somewhere e.g. /var/tmp/$USER . I guess you tried to rename the user file only. How about the result after you move all dot files? Also could you attach the screenshot when the input is very slow? % gnome-screenshot -i I removed basically all the dot file in my ~/ and left a few very important ones (.android, .VirtualBox, etc. stuffs). So I had to reconfigure almost everything and had tested it for a couple days. So far so good. I haven't encounter the slow reponse problem after that but still keep monitoring it. The only sideaffect of removing all dot files is that now each time I login, the input method selector keeps popping up. OK, I'd ask you which dot file effect your problem since I cannot reproduce your problem. But if you cannot do, probably I'd like to close this bug later. (In reply to comment #20) > The only sideaffect of removing all dot files is that now each time I login, > the input method selector keeps popping up. The behavior is expected from the beginning in f17. Hi fujiwara,
thank you for your time and responses. The dot files I removed are:
.gstreamer-0.10 .pulse-cookie

.gnupg .netbeans .xsession-errors.old
.grl-bookmarks .orc .zshrc
.grl-metadata-store .pki
.grl-podcasts .pulse
Just yesterday, I encountered this problem again: "Chinese method is switched off it is difficult to get it back util playing around for a while."
Many Thanks.
Actually, the Ctrl-P slow response happened again too. (In reply to comment #22) > Hi fujiwara, > > thank you for your time and responses.

Do you mean you cannot reproduce your problem with a new user account but can do it even if you remove all dot files and re-log in the session? It's a bit strange. I removed basically all dot files which is similar with creating a new user account. Initially, it works all fine, copy and paste good, switching good. After after approximately 18 days of usage, problems re-appeared. As you know, all the dot files will be re-created once the programs start running, and might accumulate lots of "junks". That might be the problems. I still cannot reproduce your problem. I wonder if your problem could be happened without running ibus. I tried SCIM, seemed even worse Upgraded F17 to F18, xfce still pops up im-chooser everytime after logging in. Also, the slow response remains the same with Chinese input method enabled. after deleting the main desktop related dot files, all worked alright. However, same pattern happened, the slow response came back just about 2 weeks later the same system wise input method without customization is a bad idea. Is it only happening in GTK applications? (In reply to Jens Petersen from comment #31) > Is it only happening in GTK applications? I don't know, and I can't experiment it because I am using Linux Mint now. I am wishing Fedora could have settings as Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian or the old Fedora < 16 allowing input method only enabled when it is invoked not every single appllcation by default, although we can by setting it. Another thing I found is, one day there is no sound at all, after struggling a bit, I get the computer sound back by deleting the .pulse. Similarity here is the dot file again. This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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. So what is the conclusion here? Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
