Sorry for the long reply time, and thanks for keeping at it, Benjamin! After some more testing with the Intrepid RC, I've decided that they fixed whatever this bug was, at least as far as I can tell.
It seems they disabled my sneaky way of choosing scim-bridge as the input method in KDE4, but I've figured out how to use Skim to properly enter Chinese and Japanese text into KDE4 applications (Dolphin, Konsole, Konqueror, Kate, ...), KDE3 applications (Amarok, ...), GTK applications (GIMP), and whatever OpenOffice.org uses (also GTK?). Here's how to do it with a clean boot from the Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex release candidate i386 desktop CD: -Run "sudo aptitude install scim-anthy scim-tables-zh skim", which will install Japanese input support, Chinese input support (there might be a better one; I'm not that familiar with Chinese input methods), and the Skim GUI, along with their supporting packages. -Restart X. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will do just fine. There may be another way to make scim recognize the new input methods, but this works for me. -Start Skim. -Run "im-switch -c", and choose scim-bridge from the menu. If you like how things work, you should be able to set it as the default, but I haven't tried. -Start the application in which you want to enter the text. -Choose your input method and start typing! I was able to enter English, Chinese, and Japanese text into applications using several different toolkits (APIs?) without encountering any of the bugs discussed in this report. The only oddity I noticed was that, when right-clicking in text fields in Amarok and GIMP to see which input method was active, Amarok said "XIM", and GIMP said "System", even though im-switch still reported "scim-bridge". Input works properly with this setup, though, so I'm not complaining much. Assuming it's solved for others, too, thanks to whoever helped fix this! -- 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
