Description

I set my input methods in this order below: 1. Englisht (US) 2. Canjie 5th Generation 3. Chewing 4. Inteligent Pinyin 5. Anthy The ibus of this version give me this order: 1. Chewing 2. English (US) 3. Canjie 5th Generation 4. Inteligent Pinyin 5. Anthy Created attachment 607161 [details]
Patch for setup/main.py
The workaround is to press Ctrol+space after update the order with ibus-setup.
Here is the tentative patch to set dconf value "engines_order".
Changing the severity since I think the workaround works. The order of engines is not fixed. Engines are sorted by recent usage. So when you login, the recent used engine will be active. That means, in last desktop session, you log out with chewing is active, when you log in again, ibus will enable chewing for you. If you log out with English engine, ibus will enable English engine. So I think it is not a bug. Sorry, I don't know ibus have that behavior. :P The description in preference does not mention the behavior that ibus is going to remember the engine state from last session. I think this behavior is confusing some users like me. If this is not a bug, I think that it is better to make it clear in the box. Or to make it match the behavior - default one is always the one you use since login, as people's understanding from the description reading.

Currently I'm thinking to remove Up/Down buttons on the setup and sort engines by names in both setup and ibus icon menu. Then input method switcher window only will shows the current order.

Sounds reasonable. Plus, from my point of view, I think it will be also good to let users check ibus to remember the engine used from last session or not. It is only my suggestion though.

Well, does this mean that "default" engine will not be able to set up?

It means you need to change the order by pressing Ctrl+space key after you add an engine in ibus-setup instead of using Up/Down buttons. The first engine in the input method switcher window would be the default engine. And ibus always remember the selected IM engine at the last session. OK, I finally figured this out. :P Thanks. It's fine with that. I think the description in the dialogue has to adapt to the situation and make it clear. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 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 17'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. Created attachment 775187 [details]
