Public bug reported: After upgrade to 19.10, I found that my Delete key was not working as a Delete key, but that instead if I hit Delete twice it would print the character ☭.
Since others were not reporting this issue, I had a look around at my input config and remembered that I had ibus configured from a long time ago in order to support Chinese input. If I disable ibus (either by unsetting the environment variables; or by killing ibus-daemon), then the Delete key works again as expected. This is a regression in behavior since Ubuntu 19.04, where I had the same input setup on my desktop but the Delete key worked without problems. I'm also not sure how to disable ibus, now that I am in this situation; or if ibus is expected to always be running. The problem persists if I run ibus-setup and remove Chinese SunPinyin from the list of input methods, leaving only "English - English (US)". ** Affects: ibus (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849399 Title: ibus in 19.10 breaks the delete key, maps <Delete><Delete> to ☭ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1849399/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
