Description Nils Philippsen 2024-05-31 07:27:28 UTC
After updating to ibus-1.5.30-2.fc40, I couldn’t type in characters using the compose key, Ctrl+. (for emojis) or Shift+Ctrl+U (for direct Unicode entry) in Flatpak apps. This is under the GNOME desktop on Wayland.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to the -2 release
2. Logout and in again
3. Try to type in special characters using compose key, Ctrl+. or Shift+Ctrl+U

Actual Results:  
No special characters appear. With Ctrl+., Space the menu to select between categories appears, but selecting an entry won’t insert the character.

Expected Results:  
Characters are inserted.

This was originally reported in the respective Bodhi update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-afdec1e5e5

Another user there reported that downgrading the package to -1 made it work again, I haven’t tried this yet for myself but will do so shortly.

Thank you for the report and I noticed the preedit has the problem with the D-Bus security fix in Flatpak.
Hope the latest change resolve the issues.
