Description Lawrence Lim 2005-11-14 06:05:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Is it possible for SCIM to support the input whole repertoire of Unicode 3.0?
Specifically, tried to enter 000A and noticed nothing happen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scim-1.4.2-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start gedit
2.choose RAW CODE IME from Others group
3.enter 000a
  
Actual results:
Nothing happen

Expected results:
000a == New Line, hence, cursor should go next line

Comment 1 James Su 2006-01-11 04:11:59 UTC
It works for me.

Comment 2 Lawrence Lim 2006-01-16 06:35:09 UTC
That's strange. With scim-tables-0.5.5-2 and scim-1.4.2-9, choosing RawCode with
Unicode or UTF-8 both does not respond to 000a.

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2006-01-17 08:17:33 UTC
I tried RawCode IME in scim-1.4.2-9. it looks like assuming 6 digit characters
but not 4 digit characters. so if you want to input \n, 00000a works.
James, you mean even 4 digit characters works for you?


Comment 4 James Su 2006-01-18 04:37:07 UTC
Yes. At least, 000a works in gedit. However you need press space after inputting
000a to commit it.

Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2006-01-18 05:05:37 UTC
Hmm, ok. it works for me as well. but it's an undocumented behavior and isn't
what we expected. in common practice to describe the Unicode codepoint like
U+10000, zero is getting suppressed when it's over 4 digit characters. so how
about assuming 4 digit characters when the beginning of character is 0?

Comment 6 James Su 2006-01-18 05:19:41 UTC
So that the code like U+20547 can only be inputted with 20547 rather than
020547? Hmm, I think it should be ok. I'll post a patch as soon as possible.

Comment 7 Akira TAGOH 2006-01-18 05:39:43 UTC
yes AFAICS. and it saves your time to support another range when Unicode x.y
grow up their supported Unicode code range.

Comment 8 Akira TAGOH 2006-01-18 05:41:48 UTC
well, with keeping the backward compatibility anyway.

I've tested scim with your patch. it fixes this problem. thanks.


Comment 11 Jens Petersen 2006-02-03 09:16:00 UTC
Thank you.  Adding patch to scim-1.4.4-2 build.

Comment 12 A S Alam 2006-03-13 14:16:16 UTC
with OOOA, cursor shift to next Line in gedit (Raw Code input), this is expected
Result
 
Tested with: scim-1.4.4-9 on FC5test3 (Rawhide)
