I consulted with Sebastien on IRC, and we concluded that we will not backport libpinyin 2.3.0 to bionic and disco for now for the reasons stated above. Ubuntu 19.10, with version 2.3.0, will be released tomorrow, so users who want to do the transition will have the option to upgrade their Ubuntu version.
I also built libpinyin 2.3.0 for 18.04 and 19.04 in a PPA, in order to provide yet another option: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/libpinyin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus-libpinyin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847021 Title: Cannot input Chinese if only "Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)" is set Status in ibus-libpinyin package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: See also https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin/issues/184 Ubuntu 19.04. If I only install "Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)", after pressing 'super+space' input is switched to Pinyin (can be seen from the icon on system bar). However it still input English directly. Even if I tried 'shift' button it's still the same. If I install "Chinese (Pinyin)" it works all perfect. If I install both "Chinese (Pinyin)" and "Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)", both works. So, seems something is missing? Something required by Intelligent Pinyin but only installed with Pinyin?
