** Summary changed: - scim enabled installation does not allow accented letters on non-gnome apps + Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: scim - - If scim is being used, accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome - apps. + Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps. Spanish layout uses a two-key press in order to write an accented letter (i.e. you click ´ and then a in order to write á). - I'm not sure if this is a scim related problem, or if its related to the - window manager (gnome, kde...). + Steps to follow: + -Install Konqueror from the repositories (or download Opera from it's web) + -Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts and add "Spain". Click on Layout Options and enable a layout switching that works for you (standard is clicking both alts but that didn't work for me, so I chose clicking both shifts). + -Go to any application (e.g. gedit), switch to spanish layout, and write an accented letter, such as á. + -Go to Konqueror and try to do that, it will not let you, you will write ´a - Steps to follow: - -Go to System->Administration->Language support. - -Add Spanish (I also installed Japanese, but you probably do not need to install it to reproduce the error) - -Enable 'Complex character writing' (you will probably have to reboot) - -Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and make sure that you have Spanish(Spain) (I also installed greek, but you probably do not need to install it to reproduce the error) - -Install some non-gnome application. Try for example Konqueror from the repositories, or download Opera from it's web. - -Go to any non-gnome application and, using spanish layout, try to write any letter with any accent, such as á, it will write ´a. + If you install complex writing (scim) and add spanish to it, you will be + able to write accented letters, as long as you use the scim + "Spanish/European" layout, and not the linux default. - I reinstalled fresh again doing JUST these steps, and the problem happened again. All packages are up to date. - scim 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 - scim-anthy 1.2.4-1ubuntu2 - scim-bridge-agent 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 - scim-bridge-client-gtk 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 - scim-gtk2-immodule 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 - scim-modules-socket 1.4.7-3ubuntu8 + The first two comments were added before I found out this problem was + not scim related. -- Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335732 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
