I 've spent a good few additional hours editing OSM data with the Java- based JOSM application, and since I started running the application by setting "XMODIFIERS=" for iBus I have no longer experienced any problem with text entry: neither failure to get any input text, nor the inability to enter special characters for Spanish.
So that _may_ look like a valid workaround, however, it's just based on my own experience for a limited time, and your mileage may vary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481656 Title: iBus blocks input in Java application Status in IBus: Unknown Status in Iced Tea: Confirmed Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in icedtea-java7 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: ibus This is a very unfortunate bug, as it is hard to reproduce :(. I use ThinkingRock, a Java application, and after some time the keyboard input stops working for this application, meaning I can still use my mouse to manipulate the program, but I cannot type anything. When closing the iBus Daemon the input works again after some seconds. Also restarting the Java application helps to postpone the problem until it occurs again some minutes later. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with version 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 of iBus and version 2.2.1 of ThinkingRock. My Java version is 6-15-1. Please notice: I do NOT want to input Chinese or Japanese or anything like it. I just want to normally use my keyboard. I also have NO input method selected, I have the input methods turned OFF. I have yet to test this behavior with other Java applications (maybe it's a bug in ThinkingRock?), so I'd be happy if somebody can confirm this bug for other Java applications. Because the solution is to quit the iBus Daemon, I suspect iBus to be the problem.
