After issuing a bug report about crashes in KDE programs when SCIM is in
double-byte character input mode, I was told on the KDE bug list that the
problem was between SCIM and QT, and learned that Mike Fabian had uploaded a
fix. I then tracked down the updated SCIM and related components and
downloaded them from the m17n repository.
This was a major bug, and the updated packages really do fix it. However, I
wonder how many people even know about the fix, or have access to the updated
SCIM. Is it going to be made available in the main repositories? (Or has it
been by now?) What about users of other distributions? (The same problem
exists in Debian-based distros, for example.)
One problem I continue to have in KMail only, when using SCIM+Anthy. That is,
after typing some Japanese, when I try to insert text in the middle of an
existing sentence, most of the time nothing happens. The text simply does not
appear. I have to do a line break to type it, then attach the latter part of
the sentence to the new text. I wonder if this is really a KMail editor
problem, or a SCIM problem, or an Anthy problem? (It doesn't happen in Kate,
and I've never experienced it in non-KDE programs.)
Thanks again for the fix to the SCIM vs. QT problem, Mike Fabian. It has
really made KDE usable again.
