I think the original issue here is that after initially switching to Chinese from another language, if you're already in a field then the candidate bar doesn't appear until after you've typed the first character (and that first character then doesn't get included as part of the prediction).
We definitely need to improve the predictions offered by libpinyin (or try using a different pinyin suggestion engine), but I think that's a separate issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335002 Title: Chinese input method does not work after enable Chinese keyboard in Ubuntu Phone Status in Ubuntu Keyboard: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “ubuntu-keyboard” package in Ubuntu RTM: New Bug description: Reproduce steps: 1, enable Chinese keyboard in system settings 2, launch an app can input text like notes 3, long press global icon and switch Chinese Expecting: user can input Chinese like press 'n' and 'i' then 你 should show up on candidate bar Actual: no candidate bar, so still input English To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1335002/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
