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.

Doc Text:
When a new user and language were selected during login, ibus-m17n did not load all input methods provided for that language; only one input method was loaded and marked for use as the default keymap. The user had to manually search for and add any other input methods that they wanted to use. All input methods for a given language are now loaded upon login, and can be accessed from the ibus-m17n Preferences tab.

Description A S Alam 2010-10-08 06:41:40 UTC 
ibus-m17n-1.3.0-1.el6.x86_64

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #640896 +++

Description of problem:

When a new user/language is selected during log-in from the GDM, ibus does not load all the keymaps that are provided by the m17n package (which is part of language-support) for the language. Only one keymap from the set is loaded and marked as the default for use. The remaining keymaps for the language need to be manually searched and added by the user.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

default ibus versions in F13, F14

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new user
2. From the GDM screen, select Bengali India or Marathi and log in using the new user account
3. Open gedit and enable ibus by pressing the toggle trigger (ctrl+space)
4. Right-click on the ibus icon on the panel, and select the menu item for 'Preferences'
5. Select the tab for 'Input Method'. 


  
Actual results:

Only One keymap would be added and ready for use

e.g.
http://runab.fedorapeople.org/assorted-bugs/ibus-default-bn.png
http://runab.fedorapeople.org/assorted-bugs/ibus-default-mr.png

Expected results:

All the keymaps included in the m17n package that is installed for language-support, ought to be loaded. Only one of them would be marked as default and the others can be moved up/down as per the user's discretion.


Additional info:

1. In the 'Input Method' tab (as described in step 5), click on the dropdown menu and scroll down to the name of the language. All the keymaps available for that language would be displayed.

e.g.

http://runab.fedorapeople.org/assorted-bugs/ibus-keymap-mr.png

2. This bug exists for Fedora 13 as well

Currently ibus-m17n/src/m17nutil.c decides the engine's rank.
Talking off line, they wish the current rank == 1 engines are the default and others also could be preloaded.

However I think rank == 0 is ok for Japanese but it's ok to modify the all Indic engines.
Comment 2 Daiki Ueno 2011-01-04 07:05:33 UTC 
After this was fixed in Fedora as bug 640896, it turned out to cause a regression bug 655742, which required to change ibus-sayura's component description.

I'm now thinking of a workaround not to touch Sinhala engine ranks.
Comment 3 Daiki Ueno 2011-01-04 09:14:38 UTC 
After talking off-line, I integrated the original patch, since Sinhala is not a supported language of RHEL and the ibus-sayura issue could be addressed in 6.2.
