Description of problem: If one enables more than one keyboard layout in gnome before activating ibus with im-chooser, then ibus lists the keyboards (which is good) but switching between the layouts seems only possible via the keyboard layout icon, not the ibus menu. Switching layout from the ibus menu causes the layout to change momentarily and then revert back to the current one almost immediately. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ibus-1.3.99.20110817-5.fc16 (all packages updated to latest current F16 + updates-testing) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure ibus is off (and perhaps no IMEs added) 2. add one or more keyboard layout in the gnome control kbd layout configuration 3. start ibus from im-chooser 4. click on ibus icon to show menu 5. select other keyboard layout 6. check layout indicator icon Actual results: 4. gnome layouts listed in ibus menu (this is good I think) 5. layout changes but then gnome switches it back again and override ibus ibus menu now highlighting the newly selected layout although the keyboard indicator (and kbd) are back on the original layout. 6. With two layouts at least clicking the layout indicator still works to change the layout. With 3 layouts I saw the keyboard indicator not respond to clicks with ibus running. Expected results: 5. gnome and ibus layout should be in sync and agree
In the previous gnome-shell, I removed the focus handling in shell icon menu as a workaround so that shell icon menu doesn't take up the input focus on the text application. As you knew, the ibus menu didn't close automatically due to that workaround. Since the API is changed in gnome-shell 3.1.91, if I apply the workaround, shell icon menu is no longer accessible by mouse so I dropped my workaround in the latest gnome-shell. Then current gnome-shell takes up the input focus and ibus doesn't set the XKB for the target application in this bug. I will apply another workaround but unfortunately it won't fix all issues against the workaround of removing the focus handling.
