I have scim, skim and uim together with perl-Tk installed on my machine, scim running. What to do next to make a Tk application stop to respond to keyboard input? BTW, I am testing with ptksh - can you reproduce the bug with it or I could use any other Tk app? -- 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.

Peter: can you please send me either a simple testcase proving that perl-Tk is broken or show how to reproduce it with some openSUSE application? I am afraid I cannot search for a Kasse bug. Of course, there might be also some more general problem with keyboard input... Mike: I am adding you to CC because as a maintainer of scim, you could have some information about similar problems. Do you have an idea what could be wrong here? -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309794#c4 --- Comment #4 from Mike Fabian <mfabian@novell.com> 2007-09-27 08:42:20 MST --- I tried a gan with a few Tk applications and cannot reproduce the problem. For example, the following very simple test program: mfabian@magellan:~/tcl$ cat xim.tcl tk useinputmethods #set font "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" entry .e1 -font "Helvetica 18" button .b -text exit -command exit pack .e1 pack .b mfabian@magellan:~/tcl$ works just fine with scim. wish xim.tcl and I can input Japanese and Chinese without problems and of course Latin letters as well. No dead keyboard. Are you using the Tcl/Tk packages from SuSE or are you using some other Tcl/Tk packages? -- 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.

Does the workaround export XMODIFIERS=@im=local and then start your Tcl/Tk application work for you? That disables SCIM for your Tcl/Tk application. Of course you cannot enter Japanese or Chinese then, but at least normal input should work then. But to me it looks like you are not using the "offical" SuSE Tcl/Tk packages *or* your application Kasse is broken, as Anna suspected. -- 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.

AFAIK it is no longer maintained. It has nothing to do with our Tcl/Tk packages. I'll ask the Tcl folks at ActiveState how far the PerlTk in ActivePerl differs from the upstream PerlTk. -- 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.
