Problem summary:
When choosing some Vietnamese locale like "vi_VN", GTK is activating its VIQR input method automatically (because of im-module hint) which leads to unexpected typing (for most Vietnamese people, not used to this input method) and even loss of characters in input fields (eg an 'e' at the end of a word will be loosed if you don't type a space after it). Because of this we often get complaints about typing being wrong (like password not working) which leads to bad Ubuntu experience for Vietnamese people.
What we expect now:
We would like to get the VIQR GTK input method module *not activated by default* for a Vietnamese locale. It is probably easy to solve by just removing the "vi" hint from the GTK "im-viqr.so" im-module. I think it's the last step to solve this "Bad default choices for Vietnamese" now.
Don't hesitate to ask more or contact me directly as needed. TIA, J.C.
