From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux alpha; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030716 Description of problem: When Wnn is set up as the Kana-Kanji conversion server, Japanese characters cannot be input. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kinput2-canna-wnn6-v3.1-9 (Related components: Wnn6-SDK-1.0-25, FreeWnn-1.11-36, FreeWnn-common-1.11-36) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 AS Beta2 for Itanium setting the default language to Japanese. kinput2 and Canna are set up automatically as the default Japanese input method and Kana-Kanji conversion server. 2. Change the Kana-Kanji conversion server from Canna to Wnn as follows. - Change some lines in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput file to comments by adding #'s as follows. #if [ X"`ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 | grep libcanna`" = X ] ; then XIM_ARGS="-wnnenvrc /etc/FreeWnn/ja/wnnenvrc" #else # XIM_ARGS="-canna" #fi - Log in GNOME again. 3. Confirm the "kinput2 -wnnenvrc /etc/FreeWnn/ja/wnnenvrc" process does not exist. 4. Try Japanese input on a gnome-terminal window as follows. - Push Shift+SP key. But English input mode is not changed to Japanese input mode. Therefore Japanese characters cannot be input. Actual Results: When Wnn is set up as the Kana-Kanji conversion server, Japanese characters cannot be input. Expected Results: When Wnn is set up as the Kana-Kanji conversion server, Japanese characters can be input. Additional info: - On Red Hat Linux 7.2 for i386, this problem does not occur. - When Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 AS Beta2 is installed, not Wnn but Canna is set up automatically as the default Kana-Kanji conversion server. And Japanese characters can be input normally. Therefore it seems that the severity of this problem is low.
fixed kinput2 will be available as an errata.
