Description of problem:
When typing something on konsole and coverting with Input Method, there are no color nor decorations in preedit and caret position during conversion. this makes harder to work with IM on konsole.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
konsole-4.10.4-1.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install ibus, ibus-kkc, imsettings and imsettings-qt say
2.run KDE with Japanese locale
3.open konsole and press super+space and type watasinonamaehanakanodesu and press space say

Actual results:
all of strings are on reverse decoration. hard to see where is the segment of strings

Expected results:
should be used with proper decorations to see the caret position and segments.

This is a screenshot on kwrite, which looks good and able to recognize where the caret position is.

Hmmm, Konsole paints text in a particular (probably not input-method-safe) way because it has to emulate text consoles. How (if at all) does this work in other terminal emulators, e.g. gnome-terminal?

Well, the text decoration properties basically depends on Input Method in GTK+, including terminal. vte does use colorized decoration in some case too.

just for reference to compare

Comment 5 Lukáš Tinkl 2013-07-09 10:19:51 UTC
Can you try with a different konsole color scheme if that works better for you?

Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2013-07-10 03:15:04 UTC
Seems not. but I saw some interesting behavior there.

Changing the cursor shape seems affecting how the decoration of the preedit strings looks like. e.g. changing it to underline makes all of the preedit strings being decorated with underline. enabling "Blinking cursor" option makes it blinked. so apparently konsole looks like not following text properties to the preedit strings.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 18:45:50 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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 19 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.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 15:58:04 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
