My understanding is, Virt-Viewer with ImmDisableIME(-1) can send key

I attached the screenshot of the problem when ImmDisableIME(-1) is not
applied.

But spice-gtk can receives all the key events and if ImmDisableIME(-1) is
applied, users cannot switch IMEs during running Virt-Viewer.
I tested native client with Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 and I
couldn't see any other differences when ImmDisableIME(-1) is applied.

This patch was needed for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1297640
Setup was Windows client connecting to a Windows VM.
Without this patch, when remote-viewer is focused and the user is
interacting with the VM, it was not possible to press the
Zenkaku_Hankaku in order to switch input method within the VM.

Are you saying this is not needed, and that the situation I describe is
working
even without calling ImmDisableIME?

From the subject looks like multiple keys (not specified) are not
working, one is Zenkaku_Hankaku. Can we have a list of not working
keys?

spice-gtk can receives Zenkaku_Hankaku events without the patch of ImmDisableIME(-1).
I didn't find any problems without ImmDisableIME(-1) with the native client from Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 and either MS-IME or MS Office IME.


In this case the problem is different as the key is managed by Windows
and not sent to application.

I also noted that an issue happen when you press the title of the
remote-viewer window and continue using the keyboard. In this case
when you are in Japanese mode you don't receive keys events but a
small window is opened where characters are typed.
Do we want to have this behavior?

I think this is a specification of Windows and users don't mind the issue.
E.g. users can send IME events to the title bar of explorer.exe
I think the customer real issue is MapVirtualKey() in spice-gtk and I guess bug 1297640 didn't describe the accurate problem.
I also think showing keyboard status on Windows task bar is useful for the users.

Thanks,
Fujiwara
