More info: Behavior of kinput2 in Mozilla is identical in galeon. I found the solution! It turns out that XIM input over-the-spot is not enabled by default in Mozilla. It should be enabled by default because all other web browsers has it this way. Simply modify your prefs.js to make input mode over-the-spot. user_pref("xim.input_style", "over-the-spot"); Can this be added to the default settings of Red Hat mozilla packages? This seems to make Japanese work properly. I am so relieved. I have been agonizing over this problem for a year. I added the same line to ~/galeon/mozilla/galeon/prefs.js and it now works in Galeon too. Please make it default in Galeon in addition to Mozilla. Re-Tested: Still exists in Red Hat 7.3. Please make over-the-spot default in future Mozilla packages, and this will be fixed. And please do not forget to add this to Galeon too. Not yet fixed in Limbo. This is a known but and known fix. Mozilla team provided a patch for the version of mozilla in RHL7.3 but in Limbo, this bug comes up again. Input method is very important feature in browser (imagine when you cannot input alphabets in mozilla), so I set the severity high. I will attach the patch to set over-the-spot style default soon. Created attachment 66485 [details]
mozilla-xim-style.patch (Should not be patched before %patch12)
Galeon issue should be another bug report because it is a different rpm/maintainer. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69563 Fixed in 1.0.1-10. |
