I got the bug to show up on a fresh boot from the Kubuntu Intrepid Beta Desktop i386 CD. Without installing any packages on top of the default ones, right-click on a single-line input box in any (?) application, and click "Select IM", followed by "scim-bridge". (The default IM is xim, and this bug doesn't occur when it's selected.) The IM change seems to be registered throughout the application, so click in any text field in that application, type something, select part or all of it, switch to another application (pressing alt+F2 will do), and switch back.
In the KDE4 versions of Dolphin, Kate, Adept, System Settings, and Konqueror (and probably others), the selected text will be deleted. Additionally, in Dolphin, trying to rename a file deletes all text that's automatically selected (anything before a dot for a regular file.) In Kate, you can click on other panes instead of other applications since doing so doesn't deselect text in the editing pane. In Konqueror, there's even more weird behavior: in web forms' text- entry fields (such as this one that I'm typing in right now, or the search field on Google's website), double-clicking will select a word, but the old selected text will be deleted; triple-clicking will delete the whole line, even if no text was selected beforehand. This bug is not present in Open Office or Amarok 1.4.10 (the KDE 3 version), both of which are installed by default on the Intrepid CD. You can still select scim-bridge as the IM, but selected text won't be deleted as above. I was able to type in Japanese with no problems using Anthy and scim- bridge for input in all applications (on a previous boot from the CD), but this bug was still present. The problem seems to be only in scim- bridge-client-kde4, or maybe in the way that it and KDE4 applications connect. If anyone can test this bug with a fully-updated Intrepid install (including a reboot, just in case), please post your results. -- closing search bar deletes highlighted text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
