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. -- Wataru Tenga, Tokyo openSUSE 10.2, KDE 3.5.6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org
