--- Comment #21 from Iwao Yagami supergiantpotato@yahoo.co.jp 2010-12-10 08:37:25 EST --- This is still a problem. Does the fix being pushed to the stable repository not necessarily mean that the fix has been actually pushed yet? (I don't seem to have any outstanding patches from the update repository, either~?)
On Japanese keyboards the カタカナ/ひらがな/ローマ字 button to the left of the [Alt] key does lots of weird stuff, none of them correct for a Japanese keyboard. The F7 key removes whatever was typed in Hiragana once the enter key is pressed. There is no clean way to flip between input modes within Japanese at the moment, the closest thing to a solution is to type whatever you want in Hiragana and then hit space to flip through possibilities -- which is unbelievably cumbersome for people writing technical documents.
This indeed *is* a show stopper / adoption blocker for the construction company I would like to pitch Linux to next week. I must test some other input methods (Canna?) and hope they work as expected or find a different distro with clean input methods to demo Linux on.
