I have the compose key enabled via "Keyboard Preferences -> Layouts -> Layout Options -> Compose key position -> Menu". Also as I sometimes have to input Japanese text, I have ibus enabled via the IM Chooser application. While both ibus and the compose key work fine e.g. in GNOME applications, in xterm the compose key does not. When I open up an xterm and type e.g. "Compose / o", I'm just getting the characters "/o" instead of an "ø". However when I run 'XMODIFIERS="" xterm' (thus starting an xterm with input method disabled), the compose key works fine in that xterm. I certainly remember that this has worked in the past on the same system, so the bug must have been introduced by some update package; unfortunately I'm unable to state exactly which update caused it to show up. I'm running FC12 on x86_64, fully updated, here are the versions of xterm and ibus packages installed: ibus-anthy-1.2.1-1.fc12.x86_64 ibus-table-1.2.0.20100111-1.fc12.noarch ibus-gtk-1.3.6-2.fc12.x86_64 ibus-1.3.6-2.fc12.x86_64 ibus-libs-1.3.6-2.fc12.x86_64 ibus-xkbc-1.2.0.20100115-3.fc12.noarch xterm-256-1.fc12.x86_64
Does it work in other non-gnome terminals like rxvt-unicode or lxterminal?
rxvt-unicode shows exactly the same symptoms as xterm does. lxterminal works, which comes as no surprise, as it is GTK based and GTK apps generally work. (I should have written GTK instead of GNOME in my original report.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Exactly the same problem exists on FC14 with the following package versions. ibus-table-1.3.0.20100621-3.fc14.noarch ibus-1.3.7-11.fc14.x86_64 ibus-xkbc-1.3.3.20100804-2.fc14.noarch ibus-gtk2-1.3.7-11.fc14.x86_64 ibus-anthy-1.2.4-2.fc14.x86_64 ibus-libs-1.3.7-11.fc14.x86_64 rxvt-unicode-9.07-2.fc14.x86_64 xterm-261-2.fc14.x86_64
I've just stumbled over the same issue in F13 (ibus enabled for Asian input method, compose key does not work anymore). Miroslav, if you need any more information from my setup, please let me know.
