[Bug 1761554] Re: [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered
Did some testing on bionic. It appears to me as if the feature is designed solely for Wayland. Yes, on Wayland with GTK_IM_MODULE unset it seems to work without issues. On Wayland with GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus I can reproduce the issues as described above. On Xorg the feature works very poorly irrespective of the value of GTK_IM_MODULE. Basically you can only type the characters you see on the first instance of the screen keyboard (which depends on the effective XKB layout). Capitalized letters get typed as small letters, and most extended characters don't result in anything or some wrong character. Considering that Xorg will be default in 18.04, would it be worth the regression risk to stop im-config from setting GTK_IM_MODULE this late in the cycle in order to fix the feature on Wayland? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761554 Title: [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1761554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Jeremy: Your workaround with not setting GTK_IM_MODULE makes me think of bug #1760308, where that would have been an alternative solution (see comment #6). Now Sebastien fixed it in IBus instead. To stop setting GTK_IM_MODULE would be an easy thing in im-config, of course. I'm hesitating since we have set that variable to ibus for many cycles, and we are very late in the cycle. I don't understand the significance of setting it, and I think it would be desirable to at least consult with one or two IM users before making that change. Or maybe Sebastien, who is already familiar with the IBus changes which screwed up things wrt Ctrl+Shift+U, can give us a hint offhand on what could be done on the IBus side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761554 Title: [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1761554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
