IBus does not define the syntax of .XCompose, and this file is an interface. It is not for ibus to retroactively declare the file to be "syntactically incorrect"; and regardless, if it has decided that the file is syntactically incorrect, this should not result in changes to the behavior of an unrelated key. > So I tend to think that this bug should be closed as invalid, unless you > have some convincing arguments for keeping it open. Your call. :) It is absolutely not invalid. I accept that it's not a high priority, but it remains the case that ibus is interpreting ~/.XCompose in a way that is inconsistent with how X itself does so. -- 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 misinterprets ~/.XCompose, somehow maps to the Delete key 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
