I have forced installation of old ami, in that way, to see whether ami's upgrade
brought this, however, with the old ami, the result is exactly the same

Comment 4 Matt Wilson 2003-02-20 02:24:31 UTC
I can not reproduce this.  Entering random hangul and it looks the same on both.
 Do you have some better instructions on how to reproduce?  I also copied and
pasted text from mozilla at www.yahoo.co.kr into both hterm and gnome-terminal
and it looks the same.

Do Ami Preference -> Input Options -> Commit by characters

bring up gnome-terminal
press shift+space
type rksk
it should say ê°ë, but instead it says ëê°

Comment 7 Nalin Dahyabhai 2003-02-20 08:23:51 UTC
Looks like the input method was being reset prematurely in some cases.  Please
check if 0.10.22 fixes it.

Comment 8 David Joo 2003-02-20 23:43:35 UTC
Nalin Thanks for the updates, however, it only solved half of the problem.
The input that I have posted up there now works. However, if I add another
combination, it won't work.
the input combination this time is..
"ehdgoanfrhk" <- here "ehd" is one char, "go" is one, "anf" is another one,
"rhk" is one.

For Korean it could be many as 4-5 combination can make up a one character.
For the update that has been posted 2 combination works but after 2, it breaks.
BTW, the combination that I wrote up this time is "The water of the East Sea
and" should look like "ëí´ë¬¼ê³¼"

Thanks is advance.

Comment 9 Nalin Dahyabhai 2003-02-21 01:30:32 UTC
Okay, I can't be sure just when I'm supposed to reset the IM, so for now I'm
just not going to reset it.  This appears to fix the other case.  Please check
0.10.22-2 and let me know if there are any problems in its behavior.
