Bug ID: 1974076 Summary: Chinese input methods use previously enabled layout Product: Fedora Version: 34 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: ibus-libpinyin Severity: medium Assignee: pwu@redhat.com Reporter: nickolay.ilyushin@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen@redhat.com, pwu@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Description of problem: ibus-libpinyin (and most probably several other input methods) uses `default` keyboard layout instead of `us` or whatever fits best. This effectively means that the last keyboard layout (non-IME) will be used for the pinyin input. For users which use non-Latin keyboard layouts, such as Russian or Ukrainian, this makes pinyin input unusable.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.12.0
How reproducible: easily.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable pinyin input method in your settings. 2. Switch to e.g. Russian layout. 3. Switch to pinyin IME. 4. You will type Russian letters and pinyin IME will not trigger.
Actual results: `4. You will type Russian letters and pinyin IME will not trigger.`
Expected results: `4. You will type *Latin* letters and pinyin IME *will* trigger.`
Additional info: There are two workarounds: 1. Manually patch `/usr/share/ibus/component/libpinyin.xml` and change `layout` to `us` from `default`. I don't know how this will work with non-QWERTY keyboards though. 2. Switch to a Latin layout before switching to pinyin.

--- Comment #1 from Ben Cotton bcotton@redhat.com --- This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '34'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
