From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: (in en_US.UTF-8 locale) X11 compose sequences work for Latin1 characters but not for Latin2. They can be entered in an xterm and copied from there to a gnome-terminal, so it isn't a font issue. This means that it is inordinately difficult to enter e.g. č��, which are fairly common in Eastern European names. (Same issue appears with this entry field in Firefox, btw, so it could well be a lower level issue). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.7.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xmodmap -e 'keycode F12 = Multi_Key' # in case Shift-AltGr isn't there 2. on command line, or as input to cat, etc. type F12-a-e F12-c-c Actual Results: "�" is echoed Expected Results: "�č" is echoed 2nd character is c with caron, as per the Compose file <Multi_key> <c> <c> : "č" U010D # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CARON Additional info: Could well be a lower-level issue.
Special characters got garbled in the bug report form... The characters referred to in the description were various caron'ed characters, the actual results were an ae ligature, and the expected results were ae followed by c-caron.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there haven't been any updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in our current OS release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA", however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report. Thank you in advance.
This is still with us. Reproduction instructions are the same as 3 years ago: Multi_key c c works in xterm but not in gnome terminal (in my locale). (I don't know why this was "insufficient data" -- couldn't you just have tried???)
Which versions of Fedora and gnome-terminal are you using?
When I try to reproduce this bug in Fedora 8 I get the following: $ xmodmap -e 'keycode F12 = Multi_Key' xmodmap: commandline:1: bad keycode value xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
Sorry, that's Multi_key (lowercase k) This is Fedora 8, terminal 2.18.3 Notice that a good deal of other key combinations from /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose have gone missing as well
Ok. I can reproduce this bug now. To reproduce this bug first I had to run: xmodmap -e 'keysym F12 = Multi_key' (keysym instead of keycode). Then F12-a-e, works as expected, and F12-c-c does not work. I can confirm that it works in xterm, but does not work in any other gnome application (gnome-terminal, gedit).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. 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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
