Description nomnex 2011-02-12 03:16:10 UTC
Description of problem:

I run Fedora LXDE 13 in English with i-bus for Japanese input.  Unless to quit i-bus, Freemind loses keyboards input (I use a notebook, default keyboard + USB keyboard).

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

FreeMind 0.9.0 RC 15

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open FreeMind with i-bus enabled (there is no need to switch language)
2. Type some text, click on the menus
3. After a few inputs, the keyboard becomes unresponsive (only the mouse)
4. quit i-bus (keyboard input is possible)
  
Actual results:

I cannot use US/Japanese input using FreeMind.

Expected results:

To use i-bus with FreeMind for English/Japanese input

I just reported this problem upstream. Let's see what they could do about it.
Thanks for reporting!

This seems to be kind of a common issue and I'm not sure if it's caused by freemind, java or ibus.
Since I am not really a developer and 'only' package things I couldn't do anything about it.
Let's see perhaps upstream provides some deeper insights.

All the best!

FWIW, I had this problem earlier this morning, running Freemind under GNOME 3 with English input.  abrt captured the ibus crash but the trace was unusable so I couldn't log it.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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:

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 12:15:04 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.

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