2009-02-28 05:51:34 Calabacin scim: title Bug #335732 in scim (Ubuntu): "scim enabled installation does not allow accented letters on non-gnome apps" Bug #335732 in Ubuntu: "scim enabled installation does not allow accented letters on non-gnome apps"
2009-02-28 06:17:44 Calabacin description Binary package hint: scim If scim is being used, accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps. Spanish layout uses a two-key press in order to write an accented letter (i.e. you click ´ and then a in order to write á). I'm not sure if this is a scim related problem, or if its related to the window manager (gnome, kde...). Steps to follow: -Go to System->Administration->Language support. -Add Spanish (I also installed Japanese, but you probably do not need to install it to reproduce the error) -Enable 'Complex character writing' (you will probably have to reboot) -Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and make sure that you have Spanish(Spain) (I also installed greek, but you probably do not need to install it to reproduce the error) -Install some non-gnome application. Try for example Konqueror from the repositories, or download Opera from it's web. -Go to any non-gnome application and, using spanish layout, try to write any letter with any accent, such as á, it will write ´a. I reinstalled fresh again doing JUST these steps, and the problem happened again. All packages are up to date. scim 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 scim-anthy 1.2.4-1ubuntu2 scim-bridge-agent 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 scim-bridge-client-gtk 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 scim-gtk2-immodule 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 scim-modules-socket 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps. Spanish layout uses a two-key press in order to write an accented letter (i.e. you click ´ and then a in order to write á). Steps to follow: -Install Konqueror from the repositories (or download Opera from it's web) -Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts and add "Spain". Click on Layout Options and enable a layout switching that works for you (standard is clicking both alts but that didn't work for me, so I chose clicking both shifts). -Go to any application (e.g. gedit), switch to spanish layout, and write an accented letter, such as á. -Go to Konqueror and try to do that, it will not let you, you will write ´a If you install complex writing (scim) and add spanish to it, you will be able to write accented letters, as long as you use the scim "Spanish/European" layout, and not the linux default. The first two comments were added before I found out this problem was not scim related.

Now I know these are called dead keys. Steps to follow: -Install Ubuntu in a language with dead keys, such as spanish or french -Add a complex writing language, such as japanese or chinese -Now you cannot write á you will write ´a instead. It's like dead keys stop being dead Previously, if you installed complex writing (scim) and added spanish to it, you were able to write accented letters, as long as you use the scim "Spanish/European" layout, and not the linux default.

Example for skype: While this bug is fixed, I've found a workaround for non-working apps, such as Skype. I just created a file in the path, for example /usr/bin/skype-ibus with the following commands: <pre> #!/bin/bash unset XMODIFIERS # unsets the environment variable telling apps which XIM module to use /usr/bin/skype-wrapper & # starts Skype in a child process </pre>
