Description of problem: Got some feedback from a m17n Wijesekera keyboard layout user who is involved in publishing. He finds it difficult to work for long periods of time using IBus because the pre-edit buffer has a background colour that is different to the rest of the application's text input box. Could we add a tick box option in the IBus preferences that toggles between setting the background colour of the pre-edit buffer and underlining the pre-edit buffer with no change to the background colour. SCIM underlines the pre-edit buffer, which appears to improve usability. At the moment, the particular user has had to switch back to SCIM because using IBus was affecting his productivity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ibus-chewing-1.3.4.20100608-1.fc13.i686 ibus-pinyin-db-android-1.3.8-1.fc13.noarch ibus-anthy-1.2.1-1.fc13.i686 ibus-libs-1.3.6-1.fc13.i686 ibus-pinyin-1.3.8-1.fc13.i686 ibus-m17n-1.3.0-1.fc13.i686 ibus-1.3.6-1.fc13.i686 ibus-hangul-1.3.0.20100329-1.fc13.i686 ibus-gtk-1.3.6-1.fc13.i686 ibus-rawcode-1.3.1.20100707-1.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gedit 2. select the Wijesekera keyboard layout in IBus 3. type the key sequence: fkda Actual results: * The text in the pre-edit buffer appears with a black background colour. Expected results: * The text in the pre-edit buffer appearing with the same background colour as the rest of the text input box. Alternately, underline the text in the pre-edit buffer instead of changing the background colour.
I posted a patch to make the appearance of the pre-edit buffer configurable: http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1008
I put the RPM and SRPM for ibus-m17n with configuration UI: http://ueno.fedorapeople.org/ibus-m17n/ Since the last time Harshula tested, the following changes are included: - Pre-edit colors are no longer set for some input methods (including si-wijesekera and th-kesmanee), which do not need word conversion, by default. - Pre-edit colors can be "unset". Further testing would be much appreciated.
I did a quick test in gedit & oowriter. Looks great, usability has improved significantly.
