Also likely the same issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus#LibreOffice
Quote: If IBus does load but doesn't see LibreOffice as an input window, add this line to ~/.bashrc: export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus And then, you need to start ibus with "-xim -d", for example, add this line to ~/.xinitrc: ibus-daemon --xim -d But the horrible thing is that you need to start LibreOffice in terminal. If you're using KDE and the above doesn't work, install "libreoffice-gnome" and add this line to ~/.xprofile if you don't mind running LibreOffice in GTK2 mode: export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome" That'll make IBus work with LibreOffice, and you can start LibreOffice from anywhere -- not just the terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007423 Title: ibus won't turn 'on' when in certain programs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1007423/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
