Package: conglomerate Version: 0.9.0-1 Severity: normal I'm running SCIM, and I can't find a way ot use it in conglomerate in a useful way. Say I want to type an À. Because of bug #210490, I have to use an input method instead of just using Compose. (For other characters, for instance Japanese, there's no way to input text without an input method anyway).
So I switch to, say, the M17N-t-latn-pre method, then proceed to type my À: first `, then A. Problem is: after I typed the `, nothing appears in the Conglomerate window. The À appears when I finish typing it, though. If I started Conglomerate fro ma terminal, I get the following messages on the term: ** Message: preedit_changed_cb: preedit string is: "`",cursor pos=1 ** Message: preedit_changed_cb: preedit string is: "`",cursor pos=1 ** Message: preedit_changed_cb: preedit string is: "",cursor pos=0 ** Message: commit_cb: "À" Now this bug is relatively minor for this particular character (which I only provide as a test case), but it effectively prevents typing Japanese (and probably other languages too). All the Japanese input methods I've seen are phrase-based: you need to first type the transliteration of your phrase (which gets displayed in hiragana, the Japanese phonetic alphabet), then pick the actual kanji phrase from a dictionary of known phrases with matching transliteration. The phrase can be rather long, and it's going to be a big pain if you can't see what you type.
