IM: gtk scim input. Uncommitted pre-edit buffer moves with mouse click
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:14:21 UTC
So under gnome LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 start calc activate scim (for me ctrl+space) and select e.g. japanese/anthy press i in a cell, the appropiate japanese character appears in the pre-edit buffer. Now without pressing "return", click in another cell and the pre-edit buffer moves around with the mouse. Seems a bit odd, perhaps the buffer should be committed on moving to another cell.
Hi Eike, as Niklas is on vacation please have a look at this one. Frank
Yes, the buffer should not move with the mouse click but instead the cell input should be closed, same as with other input languages. All three CJK languages seem to be affected, note that CTL languages are not. Reassigning to Niklas nevertheless.
And as part of this, perhaps pressing "accept" on the input line should also be considered sufficient to close the cell input, so that letters still be "pre-edited" get auto-accepted once accept gets clicked
I believe calling gtk_im_context_reset in endExtTextInput which is called from such mouse events will get the various engines to do what their users expect in this circumstance *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 73863 ***
