Bug ID: 170814
Summary: Cursor following problem when editing Chinese document
with fcitx5-rime
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.1.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When editing a Chinese document in LibreOffice Writer using fcitx5-rime input
method, the input window refused to follow the cursor. It cannot be the input
method problem, because this function worked all well in other programs(such as
Firefox, KWrite, VSCode, etc).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fcitx5-rime, use fcitx virtual keyboard, and switch to pinyin
Chinese input method.
2. Create a new document in LibreOffice Writer.
3. Type Chinese characters(any content will do, as long as they are in
Chinese)until the cursor reach the end of the line and starts a new line.
Observe the position of the input window.
Actual Results:
The input window stays in the original place and will not move with the cursor.
However, once if you press cursor control keys (such as backspace, arrow keys,
PgUp/PgDn and so on) or enter a space, the input window will move to the
position of the cursor when next Chinese input. It will stay in the place again
if you continue to type more Chinese characters.
Expected Results:
The input window should follow the cursor wherever it is.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I found some information about this problem in
<<https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/FAQ#Cursor_Following_problem>>. I think one of the
possible reason the problem is caused is LibreOffice Writer program did not
report cursor position to input method after the Chinese characters are input.
