RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Kenichi Takemura 2010-06-29 06:42:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

When using Chinese Chewing of iBus in Gedit
Key Down does not work to select next candidate (key sequence : eji6) after hitting space

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL Version:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.0 Beta (Santiago)
Kernel:2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64
Package:
ibus-1.3.3-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Gedit and turn iBus with Chinese Chewing on
2. Type eji6 then space to pop up other candidates characters. 
3. After step2 following Key down(arrow down) pressing does not work.

Comment 11 Ding-Yi Chen 2010-07-16 04:15:35 UTC 
Oh, just realize it is same thing that upstream issue 993 trying to address.
(http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=993)

Basically, the default behaviors of down arrow in ibus-chewing are:

1) In editing mode (preedit buffer is not empty, candidate window is not shown),
open the candidate window.

2) In selection mode (candidate window is shown),
Show the candidate with different length.

Assuming the "Select for back" is on.
For example, when typing "gj bj4 z83" (輸入法),
Press down arrow first time will show the "輸入法" as candidate,
the second time will show the "法" and its homophone such as 髮、砝。

Thus. it is not really a bug. 
Still, as the default behavior is not intuitive to new users,
I may need to do at least one of the followings:
1) Documentation on the keybindings/behaviors  of ibus-chewing.
2) An option that enable the key binding that Kenichi Takemura  and zorg
   expected.
Comment 13 Kenichi Takemura 2010-07-20 04:42:48 UTC 
Documentations(release notes) should be updated regarding this key behaviours.
Comment 14 Jens Petersen 2010-07-20 07:11:34 UTC 
FailedQA?
Comment 15 Jens Petersen 2010-07-20 07:19:44 UTC 
There is a flag requires_release_note for requesting relnotes.
Not sure why the bug state was reset?
Comment 17 Jens Petersen 2010-07-21 05:35:14 UTC 
(Currently we have not documented ibus hotkeys or shortcuts at all
in the relnotes - perhaps we should?)

Anyway, Ding-Yi: please describe the change in Technical Notes box, as requested by PM.
Comment 18 Kenichi Takemura 2010-09-06 04:40:35 UTC 
Ding-Yi: Any update regarding rel-note?
Comment 19 Ding-Yi Chen 2010-09-06 05:32:09 UTC 
The usage and hot keys are documents in both README include in this package,
and http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/ChewingUserGuide

Regards,
Comment 20 Kenichi Takemura 2010-09-06 06:11:18 UTC 
I checked the README of 'ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714-1.el6.i686'
But It does not seem to have appropriate descriptions about Key down like http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/ChewingUserGuide(This is OK).

Can you tell me where the README location is?

$ rpm -q ibus-chewing
ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714-1.el6.i686

$ cat /usr/share/doc/ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714/README
ibus-chewing
It is a Chinese input engine for IBus.

It is released under GPLv2, see COPYING for detail.

See INSTALL for installation instruction.
Comment 21 Ding-Yi Chen 2010-09-06 08:28:07 UTC 
Ah, I made a stupid mistake.
The file should be USER-GUIDE, not README.

I'll update README to reflect this change.
Comment 22 Jens Petersen 2010-09-07 02:39:30 UTC 
Can you produce an url to the file for QA?
Comment 23 Jens Petersen 2010-09-07 02:45:16 UTC 
Takemura-san, I think you have to make do with the URL above for now.
Comment 24 Kenichi Takemura 2010-09-07 03:37:08 UTC 
I understood. Thank you Ding-Yi and Jens for your support.

Moving this bug to VERIFIED.
