Created attachment 552015 [details] Japanese SCIM IME can not be activated and can not input locale string in date field for no-root user
Reference RHEL6 ibus bug: Bug 741867 - [ALL LANG] Cannot input localized character in date field. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741867#c20
So, given https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741867, there is a workaround.. yes? What should I do here.. request a release note?
(In reply to comment #3) > So, given https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741867, there is a > workaround.. yes? What should I do here.. request a release note? Workaround for SCIM: 1. Login system with no-root user. 2. Run the below commends from terminal as root: $ su - # export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge # subscription-manager-gui Verified that SCIM IME can be activated and can input locale string in date field now for no-root user via this workaround. As I think the application here is important for CJK, suggest that it would be good to note rel-note same with ibus.
MOving to on_qa to verify with the work around. Requsted a release note for this as well.
