The issue is fixed via the proposed upload of im-config, which has been changed to not set the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable for IBus on Wayland (previously GTK_IM_MODULE was set to "ibus"). Making this accessibility tool work without issues on Wayland is important enough to justify this SRU. [Test Case] 1. Log in to an Ubuntu on Wayland session 2. Open gedit and enable the screen keyboard (Settings -> Universal Access -> Typing) -> Accented characters via long-press does not work. Example: long-press a and select à from the popup Also, certain keys for special characters result in incorrect characters or nothing. Examples: ~, √, ÷, ×, <, >, ¢ 3. Install im-config from bionic-proposed 4. Relogin and repeat step 2. -> Everything works as expected [Regression Potential] There are reasons to presuppose that GTK_IM_MODULE does not need to be set at all for IBus on a GNOME desktop: * GTK has a mechanism for selecting a built-in IM. * IBus is default in GNOME, and vanilla GNOME (which does not make use of im-config) does not set the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable. But the change is only made for Wayland sessions, which is not default in 18.04. Given this limitation, the regression risk is deemed to be low. [Original description] I filed this bug upstream last month but it hasn't gotten much attention so I'm filing it here because I think we need to track this issue for the Ubuntu 18.04 release https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/109 Test Case --------- 1. Open the Settings app. Click Universal Access. 2. Enable the Screen Keyboard. (Optionally, turn on "Always Show Universal Access Menu" to make turning the Screen Keyboard on and off easier.) 3. Open Text Editor 4. Click the u button on the Screen Keyboard 5. Long-press the u button on the Screen Keyboard for a few seconds. On the popup, click the ü character. What Happens ------------ In Step 4, u is entered in the Text Editor document. Nothing is entered in Step 5. This bug affects any of the "extended characters" clicked on from the long-press popup in the Screen Keyboard.
