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(a)redhat.com
Reporter: nickolay.ilyushin(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
petersen(a)redhat.com, pwu(a)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.
