Last modified: 2014-08-04 18:02:51 EDT
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 ibus-chewing-1.2.99.20100317-2.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. Actual results: Key down does nothing. Hitting enter does not work till pressing a number key. Expected results: Key down(arrow down) shows next character. Hitting enter should confirm the current character? Additional info:

Please also post the result of: gconftool-2 -a /desktop/ibus/engine/Chewing Thanks!
Hi thanks 4 your help! Here is information. $ gconftool-2 -a /desktop/ibus/engine/Chewing plainZhuyin = false spaceAsSelection = true escCleanAllBuf = false inputStyle = in candidate window syncCapsLockLocal = keyboard forceLowercaseEnglish = false selKeys = 1234567890 phraseChoiceRearward = true easySymbolInput = true candPerPage = 10 KBType = default maxChiSymbolLen = 20 numpadAlwaysNumber = true autoShiftCur = false hsuSelKeyType = 1 addPhraseDirection = false
Fix is ready, yet need exception flags to be set as +
Is the fix already in Fedora?
From Jul 15 RHEL meeting: REPORTER: ddumas STATUS: Update from jens. Worked with dchen to get it done but dchen didn't follow process. It's in nightly. REPORTER: dgregor STATUS: Tagged ibus-chewing-1.3.5.20100714-1.el6 for next Snapshot 8 compose. REPORTER: sly STATUS: Changed status to MODIFIED.
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@chromium.org expected.
Documentations(release notes) should be updated regarding this key behaviours.
FailedQA?
There is a flag requires_release_note for requesting relnotes. Not sure why the bug state was reset?
(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.
Ding-Yi: Any update regarding rel-note?
The usage and hot keys are documents in both README include in this package, and http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/ChewingUserGuide Regards,
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.
Ah, I made a stupid mistake. The file should be USER-GUIDE, not README. I'll update README to reflect this change.
Can you produce an url to the file for QA?
Takemura-san, I think you have to make do with the URL above for now.
I understood. Thank you Ding-Yi and Jens for your support. Moving this bug to VERIFIED.
