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.

2. This bug exists for Fedora 13 as well

--- Additional comment from tfujiwar on 2010-10-07 10:39:13 IST ---

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.
