Created attachment 511236 [details] ibus displays a separted window for the input Description of problem: ibus (ibus-anthy), to type Japanese in a en_US OS, used to work fine until a recent update. Ever since the update: (a) No direct input occurs anymore. The input reside in a small window next to or beneath the document window or the input field. (b) after update the default shortcut selection to swith ibus ON/OFF was gone (the field was empty) any new custom combination are ineffective. ibus cannot be switched ON-OFF as it used to be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): IBus 1.3.99.20110630 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to the latest version in the repo 2. Open a text editor and select Anthy 3. Input some letters 4. Try to switch ibus OFF Actual results: (a) See print-screen: the input does NOT occur inside the document window as it used to be, but in a small separated window (b) ibus cannot be switch OFF (Only QUIT) Expected results: (a) Direct input in the core document. (b) To turn ibus ON-OFF Additional info: ibus is currently unusable for me in this current state. How can I revert to the state prior the update (it was working perfectly?) or what should I do best (use another input method?). I live in Japan and it's a feature I need. Ever since I use ibus, it has always been reliable. Thanks.

Created attachment 511829 [details] input still displayed in a small separated window Sorry, but it is still broken. before the update ibus 1.3.99.20110419.2.fc15, it was working perfectly. after this update, ibus is broken with Japanese input - no direct input (small input window) (see new print-screen) - no way to switch it off (the ibus tool bar is permanent. The short cut (now working) to switch it ON/OFF only toggles the bar with either "default layout" or "Japanese") Before, switch off turned ibus off and the tool bar was gone. I have another notebook running F-15 LXDE. I did not update ibus and it is working as expected. I will check the exact ibus version the next time I turn it on. What is the full command to roll back ibus to the same version on the other notebook (the version prior the update)? I really need Japanese input. Sorry about that.
(In reply to comment #6) > - no direct input (small input window) (see new print-screen) I think the state has not been changed since the ibus -2. If you use X applications, the preedit erea is shown in lookup window. If you use GTK+ applications, the preedit erea is shown on each application. > - no way to switch it off (the ibus tool bar is permanent. The short cut (now > working) to switch it ON/OFF only toggles the bar with either "default layout" > or "Japanese") Before, switch off turned ibus off and the tool bar was gone. I think the languagebar is fixed in ibus-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15 . The Control + Space key can switch "default layout" and "Japanese" % rpm -q ibus ibus-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64
I have checked the other notebook: IBus 1.3.99.20110608 Is working - turn off input method (is present in the menu) - shortcut to turn off "Control+space, etc." is working - direct Japanese input is working (no separated input window) IBus udpdate 1.3.99.20110419-7.fc15 Breaks Japanese input - no menu to turn off input method - shortcut not working - input appears in a small windows (not directly in the document) Both computer have the same OS. I just did not update the former. GTK+ app with IBus 1.3.99.20110608 gives direct input, while IBUs udpdate 1.3.99.20110419-7.fc15 changes that (my print screen showing this little window). Control + Space key does not work for me, If I try another key sequence e.g. Ctrl+Shift+I I can change "default layout" and "Japanese", but that's not "Turn off input method". It's merely the same as "Next input methode" Alt+Shift_R which does the very same. My computer knowledge is limited as you can read. So if you could you help me to roll back to version prior this IBus udpdate 1.3.99.20110419-7.fc15 (i.e. roll back to IBus 1.3.99.20110608) I could be out of trouble for now. I will just not update, as I do on the other machine. Thanks in advance. Ps: (is this the command I am asking to roll back a software "% rpm -q ibus ibus-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64"?) Shall i pass this command to return to version IBus 1.3.99.20110608? - My apology for so much confusion.

The latest ibus don't have the state of IM engine off. It assigns the default keyboard layout as one engine and toggle the default input method and the default keyboard layout. > - shortcut not working > - input appears in a small windows (not directly in the document) I still don't understand this problem. Which application do you use? Do you enable the check box 'Embed preedit text in application window' when you launch 'ibus-setup' command? > > Both computer have the same OS.

The trigger key and next input method is different. The trigger key toggles prev engine and next engine. The next input method rotates the next engines in the preload engines. Yes, the latest ibus no longer has the state of IM engine off. The default keyboard layout would become the similar state of IM engine off. The latest change can put the keyboard layouts and input methods in the same layer. > % rpm -q ibus > ibus-1.3.99.20110419-9.fc15.x86_64 I asked this to check if you installed the latest ibus. ibus-1.3.99.20110419-2 is available: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=246871

I mean if the result is ibus-1.3.99.20110419-7.fc15.x86_64 in your env, the ibus is still old and you could update it to ibus-1.3.99.20110419-9. # yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing ibus # rpm -q ibus > > ibus-1.3.99.20110419-2 is available: > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=246871
fujiwara, first I want apologize. this is not a bug, it a user misunderstanding. secondly, I thank you for your feedback and your timely answers (Explanation detail interleaved with the quotes) (In reply to comment #9) > > - no menu to turn off input method > > Yes, it was removed as expected. > The latest ibus don't have the state of IM engine off. > It assigns the default keyboard layout as one engine and toggle the default > input method and the default keyboard layout. From F13 up to the F15 DVD installation, the default ibus had the "state of IM engine off". It was my assumption the update broke this feature. The F-wiki ibus is not up to date. I have also looked on http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/News, but I am not sure to understand half of the changes. > I still don't understand this problem. > Which application do you use? > Do you enable the check box 'Embed preedit text in application window' when you > launch 'ibus-setup' command? To make the matter worse, my English knowledge is perfectible. "embed preedit text in application window" make sens as separate words, but it did not as a feature. I don't recall if this option was available on the ibus on Fedora 13. I only recall direct input was working out of the box (but with Abiword), and I was wrongly assuming direct input was the sole alternative. Reading a few times your comments finally rang the bell. I am located in Japan and it's a perquisite to write (and learn) Japanese. I would probably had not noticed anything if the option "embed preedit..." was turned on by default. Once again, I apologize. I am relieved to be able to input Japanese again, without anxiety. Thanks to you. PS I will update the karma on the bodhi page.
(In reply to comment #11) OK, great. Thanks for your test. Yes, the GUI option "Embed preedit text..." is not available in F13. I'm gathering the feedbacks about the new feature of the new Control + Space in this week. Probably I will revert the feature for fedora 15 next week but keep the feature in fedora 16 at the moment as we will have the further discussions.
Were is the discussion for the feedback (link). I would like to learn more or participate. "Enable/disable" & "Next input" shortcuts made sens with the previous behavior. With new approach (explained in comment 11), the pref. field for a shortcut "enable/disable" seems redundant* (even prone to mistake for old timer users). *I maybe finally understand the rational; why the field was suddenly blank after updating.
Originally the 'Enable' and 'Disable' fields are added besides 'Enable or disable' fields because some IM engines like to have the different hotkeys between disable and enable. In the new Control + Space, disabled status is no longer used but maybe the 'Enable' and 'Disable' fields are still useful for the debug purpose. The default layout engine is automatically added. So if you add anthy and pinyin input method engines: - Enable or disable hotkeys toggle prev and next engines (the default layout and anthy) - Disable hotkeys may be used for the debug purpose - Next input method hotkeys rotate engines in the list (the defalut layout -> anthy -> pinyin) (In reply to comment #13) > *I maybe finally understand the rational; why the field was suddenly blank > after updating. Yes, in ibus -7, I removed the hotkeys in 'Enable or disable' and put the hard-coded Control + Space only but it's fixed in ibus -9 with bug 718450. The main purpose of the new 'Control + Space' is to put the input methods and keyboard layouts in the same layer: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Guidelines/SystemStatus/InputLanguage If your graphics card supports 3D, the gnome-shell is enabled by default in GNOME3 and you may be able to install ibus-gnome3 with yum. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/InputMethods#GNOME-Shell
