[Bug 919899] Re: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute
I found a couple of suspect lines upstream. seems that the cases
acute+c/acute+C have been hard coded to produce
GDK_KEY_ccedilla/GDK_KEY_Ccedilla.
gtkimcontextsimple.c, in function check_quartz_special_cases, around
line 402:
case GDK_KEY_dead_acute:
switch (priv->compose_buffer[1])
{
case 'c': value = GDK_KEY_ccedilla; break;
case 'C': value = GDK_KEY_Ccedilla; break;
}
break;

[Bug 919899] Re: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute
Do we even know what the intended behaviour is? As it is now, we have: dead_acute + c => ç dead_grave + c => [nothing] compose + apostrophe + c => ç compose + comma + c => ç Three ways to type ç (perhaps AltGr-, works too on some layouts), and none to type a c with an acute accent. That certainly cannot be intended behaviour! At the least, I think having compose + apostrophe + c as a needless duplication of compose + comma + c makes no sense. Just to be clear, there are no satisfactory alternatives: - Changing keyboard layout is not an option: just because I occasionally want to write a Croatian name (for instance), doesn't mean I can write Croatian nor that I am familiar with the Croatian keyboard layout. If I had to do it to be able to type any of the letters, that would be different, but all the others are right there, along with the Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Danish letters etc—and ç (I need ç too, but I don't need to type it in three ways…). - Memorizing numerical codes is something I had to do on Windows, and I would prefer to have left that behind me. - Fábián's workaround looked interesting but I haven't tried it, for fear of the flaws he found in it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919899 Title: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/919899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I gave up a while ago. One thing that may be of interest is that Linux Mint Debian Edition, update pack 6, does not suffer from the bug.

One more short comment. Another "workaround": you may always insert the "ć" and "Ć" chars by pressing Ctrl+Shift+u and then typing the appropriate unicode codes (0106 for "Ć" and 0107 for "ć"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919899 Title: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/919899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 919899] Re: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute
I guess I may have found a workaround. I use Hungarian keyboard layout with hu_HU.UTF-8 locale and I'd like to type the "ć" character with AltGr+9+c (dead_acute+c) (used in Polish and Croatian/Serbian). I have been googling and experimenting quite long to find a workaround with no success. The most interesting point was, that the file that most claimed needs the changes already contains the proper entries: /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE I tried changing other files as well: - /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-1.inc (I changed the lines combining dead_acute with c to result in "ć" instead of "ç", but it did not help) - adding a ~/.XCompose with the proper entries (but what for, if en_US.UTF-8/Compose already contains the proper entries?) As a last act of desperation, basing on a hint I found at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Accented_Characters I tried adding "GTK_IM_MODULE=xim" to /etc/environment. This finally helped. Then I reverted all my previous changes (left just the one in /etc/environment), and entering "ć" is still possible. However now I see other problems with the input method (Ctrl+F doesn't work in gedit - when the IM_MODULE is not xim it works properly), so I wouldn't like to use this "hack". So my questions are: - Why are the settings in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose not taking any effect with the default input method? (my /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir defines en_US.UTF-8/Compose for hu_HU.UTF-8, so it should take effect) - Why are those settings taking effect in turn when the input method is xim? - What is the default input method (I guess it's not xim), and where are those "Compose" settings that should take effect for it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919899 Title: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/919899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is reproducible on Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 with firefox, terminal and gedit (with Hungarian keyboard layout). However in Skype dead_acute + c produces "ć". Is there any workaround for this problem?

(1) This bug is unrelated to bug #961741, so I request it to be unmarked as duplicate. Bug #961741 is about the inability of typing any deadkey sequence on the program Dash, while this one is about the change of a specific sequence from meaning one thing to meaning another one (while the rest of sequences work fine). Therefore I request this bug report be unmarked as duplicate of bug #961741. (2) I'm using Xubuntu 12.04, es_ES.UTF-8 locale, and I have the same problem when typing a dead acute followed by 'c'. I expected to get a 'ć' but instead I'm getting a 'ç'. This doesn't happen in my Ubuntu 10.10 nor Lubuntu 10.04 machines. (3) I've tried copying /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose to ~/.XCompose, as well as replacing the /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose and /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose files with /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose, with no success. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919899 Title: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/919899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
