Description Pete Zaitcev 2022-07-07 18:45:49 UTC
Description of problem:

The 'ja' cannot be selected as before from Gnome menu.
But "Japanese (Anthy)" is present in Settings.
Tried to remove and re-add, no success.

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

anthy-unicode-1.0.0.20211224-1.fc35.x86_64
ibus-anthy-1.5.14-1.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:

100% on the affected system, but we don't know what triggered it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Settins, Keyboard
2. Add Japanese (Anthy)
3. Check if the top (black) Gnome menu now has 'ja'.

Actual results:

No Japanese input

Expected results:

Working as before.

When I filed the bug, 'ja' appeared in the menu. But now it disappeared again.

I don't know which packages you updated but if you update IBus packages, you have to run ibus restart.

Did you try both GNOME Wayland and GNOME Xorg?

Comment 4 Pete Zaitcev 2022-07-13 20:37:40 UTC
"ibus restart" seems to have worked. I'm pretty sure I rebooted before, but here you go. I'll reopen if this resurfaces.

Comment 5 Pete Zaitcev 2022-07-17 22:15:21 UTC
The problem returns after a period of time after "ibus restart".

Did you try both GNOME Wayland and GNOME Xorg?

Comment 7 Pete Zaitcev 2022-08-26 23:22:17 UTC
I'm pretty sure I'm on Wayland. Everything is default, and the Settings->About says at the very bottom "Windowing System: Wayland". I can attach the output of "rpm -qa" if you want.

Comment 8 Pete Zaitcev 2022-08-26 23:22:51 UTC
I upgraded to F36 and the same behavior persists.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 17:34:14 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Is this still happening?

Comment 11 Pete Zaitcev 2023-05-15 17:12:45 UTC
The F37 fixed it.

ibus-1.5.27-5.fc37.x86_64
ibus-anthy-1.5.14-7.fc37.x86_64
