Description Satyabrata Maitra 2010-09-21 06:59:31 UTC
Description of problem:
In pango (tested it in gedit and firefox), the deletion with DELETE key, is not following the rule of deleting entire composed character with a single key press. It is deleting each of the character in a composed character, one by one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.28.0-1.fc13.i686

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gedit or firefox in mr_IN locale
2. Activate ibus with CTRL+SPACE. Select marathi - Inscript
3. Type : kdk (which means consonant KA + Halant + Consonant KA)
4. Position the cursor at the beginning point of the composed character.
5. Now, press DELETE key. (It needs 3 key strokes to delete the whole character, but it should be done with a single key stroke in fact)

Actual results:
Delete composed character is happening in wrong manner. Actually it is now following the convention (Rule) of BACKSPACE, when deleting a composed character comes into picture.

Expected results:
It should delete the whole composed character in one DELETE key stroke when cursor positions at the start of the composed character.

Additional info:

OS : Fedora 13
Arch : i386

Does this issue still persist in f15 say?

Comment 2 A S Alam 2011-05-25 07:22:49 UTC
with gedit/firefox, I need to use 2 stroke instead of 3 strokes with DEL button, still not fixed.

Comment 4 Satyabrata Maitra 2011-05-27 05:08:02 UTC
Aman

Actually it should be deleted in a single stroke only, instead of 2 or 3 or more. Any number of strokes other than a single stroke to delete, is wrong actually. So, even if it is taking 2 strokes, its NOT Fixed. :)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 11 Akira TAGOH 2013-07-05 06:46:03 UTC
same to what it was mentioned at comment#2 on f19. interesting thing is it seems not recongized as a single character but two on moving cursor. if it's correct, the behavior of delete key looks correct IMHO. otherwise there is similar issue for cursor. it should be fixed in harfbuzz perhaps?

Comment 12 Behdad Esfahbod 2013-07-05 13:13:56 UTC
Upstream in Pango.

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 13:23:55 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
