Created attachment 669534 [details] 1st screenshot Description of problem: Not sure if this is an ibus, libreoffice, or KDE issue. However, if you bring up libreoffice writer and then ctrl-shift to enter Chinese, for example, but then change you focus to another window you can no longer enter Chinese in libreoffice. Other apps, such as konsole, continue to response "correctly". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ctrl-Sift and select input method. 2. Start libreoffice writer 3. Enter Chinese, for example 4. Move cursor to konsole and allow it to gain focus 5. Move back to libreoffice 6. Not possible to enter Chinese. Even restarting ibus doesn't help. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: See attached screen shots in sequence. Verified on "real" system as well as a VM

Upon further testing I've found that the problem only exists on a system where KDE was installed after GNOME. I have a KDE only VM and the problem does not exist in that environment.

When I use libreoffice on KDE, the behavior is different between f17 and f18. In f17, neither set focus and unset focus event is called in XIM protocol with libreoffice. In f18, set focus event only is called with libreoffice but both set focus and unset focus event is called with xterm and libreoffice has this problem but xterm does not have so probably I think this problem is caused by libreoffice. The following is the stack from ibus-x11 with libreoffice: #0 xim_set_ic_focus (xims=0x1510850, call_data=0x7fff8455e010) at main.c:417 #1 0x0000000000404fc3 in ims_protocol_handler (xims=0x1510850, call_data= 0x7fff8455e010) at main.c:791 #2 0x0000000000411dd5 in SetICFocusMessageProc (ims=0x1510850, call_data= 0x7fff8455e010, p=0x15505d4 "\002") at i18nPtHdr.c:883 #3 0x0000000000413924 in _Xi18nMessageHandler (ims=0x1510850, connect_id=2, p= 0x15505d0 ":", delete=0x7fff8455e16c) at i18nPtHdr.c:1752 #4 0x000000000040a98b in WaitXIMProtocol (dpy=0x14f3020, win=71303174, ev= 0x7fff8455e1a0, client_data=0x1510850 " \264a") at i18nX.c:512 #5 0x0000003028861dd1 in _gdk_events_queue () from /lib64/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #6 0x0000003028861ebe in gdk_event_dispatch () from /lib64/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #7 0x000000300a047a95 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #8 0x000000300a047dc8 in g_main_context_iterate.isra.24 () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #9 0x000000300a0481c2 in g_main_loop_run () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #10 0x000000302814ab47 in gtk_main () from /lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #11 0x0000000000406342 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fff8455e518) at main.c:1220 Transferring to libreoffice.

FWIW, I installed only KDE in a VM and it still fails for me....
This still fails in F19 Beta TC2
FWIW, I have downloaded and tested LO 4.0.3 from the LibreOffice website and it is fixed in that version..... Any chance of getting 4.X for F18 and/or F19 ASAP?
Sorry.... Just realized I had the wrong VM open.... F19 has LO 4.0.3 and the problem is fixed. Any chance of getting this for F18
All the talk of KDE threw me off, this must be fdo#63802 which I fixed upstream. Yes I can backport that easily enough.
Great.... Look forward to testing soon.

Created attachment 756978 [details] Screen shot showing problem is not fixed.... First, note that libreoffice-core-3.6.6.2-8.fc18.x86_64 has been installed looking at the output in konsole. Next, note that Intelligent Pinyin is enabled by the appearance of the Chinese character on the systray. 楊 (yang) has been typed on the first line. The mouse is then moved to konsole and focus is grabbed Move back to libreoffice and type yang again..... no ibus, no Chinese.
I'm not sure why this bugzilla was closed in the first place. I note in #16 this has not been fixed. I also gave negative karma.

As mentioned above.... This release of libreoffice does *not* fix the reported problem. :-(
yeah, the catch is that one it gets into the list it gets stuck in the list for every update after that that supercedes the previous
out of resources for investigating backports for f18, sorry
The reported problem exists in F20-TC2 ! However, if I download and install LibreOffice from libreoffice.org the problem does not exist.
FWIW, the discussion on the "test" list suggests the problem is introduced by packaging of LibreOffice for Fedora. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2013-October/118256.html This is an ongoing and annoying issue which I hope can be addressed. I dislike having to use the packages from LibreOffice.org.
upstream builds against KDE3, we build against KDE4, different upstream implementations of the two backends, i.e. not a packaging bug but probably a standard upstream bug, just not exposed in the upstream builds because there KDE4 is not included
So, are you saying that a fix for this needs to wait until upstream builds against KDE4? Nothing can be done until then?
OK.... Your answer on the test list clarified things a bit more. Thanks.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20.

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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
