[Bug 230217] New: kbabel does not allow skim to input Chinese chars
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230217 Summary: kbabel does not allow skim to input Chinese chars Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: gubotruth@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: zsu@novell.com openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, KDE environment, all packages from the DVD. With scim/skim ok in all other K apps, Kbabel does not allow skim to input Chinese chars in its msgstr field. With Eng keyboard on, everything's good. However, with a Chinese IM on, it seems that every time I press a key, an IMEnd signal is sent. For instance, with pinyin on, I press "wo" in order to form a char query, it strangely runs into this way(from shell): sending IMStart with 0 chars to 0x9fdce0 sending IMCompose to 0x9fdce0 with 1 chars, cpos=0, sellen=1, text=我 sending IMCompose to 0x9fdce0 with 1 chars, cpos=1, sellen=0, text=我 sending IMEnd with 0 chars to 0x9fdce0, text= sending IMStart with 0 chars to 0x9fdce0 sending IMCompose to 0x9fdce0 with 1 chars, cpos=0, sellen=1, text=哦 sending IMCompose to 0x9fdce0 with 1 chars, cpos=1, sellen=0, text=哦 sending IMEnd with 0 chars to 0x9fdce0, text= And there will be no char to be display in Kbabel. This bug has been there since SUSE 10.1, also existing in SLE 10 series. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I thought this bug might be related to bug #59633 but as Compose still works this might be an unrelated problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230217 ------- Comment #4 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-01-02 12:37 MST ------- It doesn't work with QT_IM_MODULE=xim either, no matter whether SCIM or some other XIM server like kinput2 is used. I.e. XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" QT_IM_MODULE=xim kbabel ja.po doesn't work either. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230217 ------- Comment #6 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-01-02 13:00 MST ------- The workaround is: Start /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qtconfig and select "OverTheSpot" and then use XIM: QT_IM_MODULE=xim kbabel ja.po -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230217 ------- Comment #7 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-01-03 07:11 MST ------- Of course the workaround mentioned in comment #6 makes the input more inconvenient in many other KDE/Qt applications because all Qt applications use "OverTheSpot" by default if this is set in qtconfig. And for applictions where it works, "OnTheSpot" is much more convenient. Therefore it is better to use this workaround only for Kbabel, which can be achieved by setting the inputstyle not in qtconfig but with a command line option for Kbabel instead. Like this: QT_IM_MODULE=xim XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM kbabel --inputstyle overthespot ja.po -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Please can we have updated packages of qt (I presume it's really a qt bug and not a kbabel bug)? This is seriously preventing usage of KBabel on openSUSE 10.2 for translation work to Asian languages. Fedora Core 6 has fixed this bug, and I don't see any reason a fixed package for openSUSE 10.2 cannot be released.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230217 ------- Comment #10 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-01-16 12:19 MST ------- It's not clear whether it is really a qt bug. As it works fine, it could be a bug in Kbabel. Maybe the patch for Qt is just a workaround. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
