Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Adrian Glaubitz (adi82) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Problems with Japanese input (kinput2) Initial Comment: Hello, I'm using the latest version of gaim, 2.0.0-beta5 which is the most recent version in Debian testing (etch). I frequently chat with Japanese friends using kinput2. I run kinput2 like: /usr/bin/kinput2-canna -xim with XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2 GDM_LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.EUC-JP. I can type Japanese text in instant messanges just fine by invoking kinput2 with <Shift>+<Space>. When I start typing Hiragana-text, then hit <Space> to choose from the Kanji-list and then use the arrow-keys to select the proper Kanji, the connection kinput2<->gaim just somehow breaks up. Meaning, that all of a sudden, I can only type regular English input, hitting <Shift>+<Space> won't enable kinput2 anymore. I talk of the "connection" gaim<->kinput2 here, because I can still enable and use kinput2 on any other running application like Firefox. When I close gaim, then restart it, I can use kinput2 again. I can prevent this problem when not using the arrow-keys to choose among the Kanjis in kinput2, so gaim seems to somehow interpret the arrow-keys during input. Sorry for not yielding any further configuration details, but I don't really what to post here, but I can provide all configuration files if requested. Best Regards, Adrian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Adrian Glaubitz (adi82) Date: 2006-12-04 21:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=681680 Originator: YES Update: I investigated more deeply into the problem and it appears to be a bug in gaim. I can reproduce the problem: - open an instant messege window - press <Shift>+<Space> to enable Kanji - type something in Hiragana - press <Space> to choose the proper Kanji - hit <Enter> to select Kanji from the list, the Kanji-selection-list will disappear, the output from kinput2 (the choosen Kanji appear as selected in the message input window) Now the point, where it "crashes": - hit <Space> and gaim will move the selection one space-character right (like you expect from normal text), but this somehow will confuse kinput2 making it not responding to <Shift>+<Space> anymore - I tested kinput2 with other applications and tried to reproduce this, the point is, that all other apps I tested react differently when hitting <Space> at this moment, they will all pop-up the Kanji-selection-list again (which is the actual desired behaviour with kinput2 AFAIK - at least this will not "confuse" kinput2) Hope that someone can reproduce it.
