Bug ID: 2013323 Summary: Cursor position and conversion regioni of ibus-anthy are invisible in Google Documents (both in firefox and google-chrome) Product: Fedora Version: 34 Status: NEW Component: ibus Assignee: tfujiwar@redhat.com Reporter: mfabian@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, shawn.p.huang@gmail.com, tfujiwar@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Created attachment 1832255 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1832255&action=edit Video showing the wrongly displayed cursor position using ibus-anthy in Google Documents
I did choose component ibus, although this is likely not an ibus bug but a problem in google docs, but I wanted to report it somehow, maybe something can be done to improve this:
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-20210829.n.0.iso installed in qemu-kvm with all current updates. firefox-93.0-2.fc35.x86_64 google-chrome-unstable-96.0.4662.6-1.x86_64 ibus-1.5.25-4.fc35.x86_64 ibus-anthy-1.5.13-1.fc35.x86_64
See the attached video.
In the video I type わたしのなまえはやまだです first in gedit to show how it should work. After typing that hiragana, I type space to start conversion. The current conversion region is indicated by the cursor position and a purple background color. When the conversion to kanji is startet, at first the cursor position is at the left of the preedit and the conversion region is わたしの. I can then move the conversion region right with arrow-right and see that it moves because the blue background and the cursor position moves.
Then I do the same in Google Documents (both in firefox and google-chrome, that makes no difference):
- The cursor position is *always* shown at the right end of the preedit - The purple background color of the conversion region is not there
One can move the conversion region around using the arrow keys, one just cannot see where the conversion region currently is the purple background is missing *and* the cursor position is *always* at the right end of the preedit.
The same problem happens when trying to use ibus-typing-booster with the "inline completion" option in Google Documents. The color of the inline completion is missing *and* the cursor position is always at the end of the preedit, so one cannot see where the inline completion is and whether it has been accepted or not.
In gedit in wayland, the colors don't work either, but at least the cursor position is shown correctly. When only the cursor position is shown but no color, it is not great at least somewhat usable. By carefully watching the cursor one can still see what is going on. But when the cursor positon is always at the right of preedit *and* there is no colour, this is completely unusable.
