gnome-text-editor-43~alpha1-1.fc37.x86_64 Preedit is disappearing faster than one can do anything in gnome-text-editor.
Created attachment 1912950 [details] Video showing the problem by comparing typing into gedit with typing into gnome-text-editor In the video one can see me typing on an XFCE desktop into gedit and gnome-text-editors using the input methods: - ibus-anthy (Japanese - Anthy) - ibus-libpinyin (Chinese - Intelligent Pinyin) - ibus-typing-booster (Other - Typing Booster - ibus-m17n (Other - t-latn-post (m17n)) In gedit these input methods all work fine. But in gnome-text-editor, the preedit vanishes quickly, usually so quickly that it is hard to see that there was anything at all. With “ibus-m17n (Other - t-latn-post (m17n))” there is an additional problem: Typing u" should give an ü. This works in gedit. But in gnome-text-editor, after typing u" one sees "u. The " is already committed, it has “normal” colours, the u is shown with a red background and green foreground (This is because I did choose these colours in the settings of “ibus-m17n (Other - t-latn-post (m17n))” to make the preedit more easily visible). So the " has already been committed and the u follows and is in preedit. After just waiting for a while and not typing anything else, the u is committed as well (colours for the u change to normal).
The video shows an XFCE desktop but the problem is the same on Gnome Xorg. As can be seen in the video GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus is set!
Upstream bug is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor/-/issues/454
I think the GTK4 patch should be deleted for Fedora 37.
The original issue was GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus. Reverting the category.
