Description Jonas Ådahl 2018-10-23 10:17:52 UTC
Description of problem:

When typing chinese using ibus-libpinyin, no preedit text is shown, but I can still commit text.

The same issue exist everywhere, gtk2, gtk3, xterm, Firefox, LibreOffice, ...

I have tried other input methods (e.g. hangul) and preedit works for those.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ibus-1.5.19-4.fc29.x86_64
ibus-libpinyin-1.10.91-1.fc29.x86_64
mutter-3.30.1-4.fc29.x86_64 (also tried with 3.30.1-2)
gnome-shell-3.30.1-2.fc29.x86_64 (also tried with 3.30.1-1)

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select libpinyin
2. Enter some pinyin


Actual results:
No preedit text is shown, just the popup with character selection.

Expected results:
Preedit text should be shown.

Additional info:
I have both https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1632981 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1637418 fixes applied, but also verified that the issue was reproduceable without those fixes.

Comment 1 fujiwara 2018-10-23 11:53:45 UTC
I cannot reproduce your problem.

Comment 2 Jonas Ådahl 2018-10-23 12:05:50 UTC
Any way I can debug it? I tried both Xorg and Wayland session and it works the same.

Comment 3 Peng Wu 2018-10-25 09:56:36 UTC
I can't reproduce this bug, either.

Maybe some screenshot will help on it?

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2018-10-25 10:09:23 UTC
I tried testing this in Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29-20181024.n.0.iso.

I can input hello in Chinese in gedit for example:

1. activate "Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)"
2. input 'nihao' with keyboard
3. (pre-edit now shows "你好", which is also the first listed candidate)
4. commit with space
5. (buffer now show "你好")

video of missing pre-edit

Here's a video of entering text in gedit. On F28 I'd get the pre-edit string with an underline inside gedit text view, not just in the popup.

Here's a video I just recorded on F28 where it works as expected.

Comment 7 Peng Wu 2018-10-25 11:07:24 UTC
After turn on Traditional Chinese option, I can reproduce this bug on Fedora 28/29

Comment 8 Jonas Ådahl 2018-10-25 11:23:49 UTC
Ah, right, yes, I use libpinyin with traditional characters, indeed. Should have included that in the initial description, sorry!

Comment 10 Jonas Ådahl 2018-10-26 11:55:47 UTC
Thanks! Will it be backported to F29?

Comment 11 Peng Wu 2018-10-29 05:41:34 UTC
Sure, will back port the patch.
