** Summary changed:
- Many KDE4 applications (such as Kwrite and Kate) does not show the "select IM" menu on right click, thus can't select and use scim
+ KWrite and Kate of KDE4 do not show "select IM" in the right-click context menu and so cannot select and use iBus/Scim
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: scim-bridge
+ Even when context-sensitive input methods like iBus/Scim are installed,
+ users are not able to select and use them in KWrite and Kate of KDE4
+ because the right-click context menu does not show the "select IM" menu
+ item.
- After installing scim-bridge-qt 0.4.14-1ubuntu2 successfully, I am able
- to select the SCIM in the URL field of Konqueror 4. However in some
- Konqueror webpages and many KDE4.0.2 applications such as Kate and
- Kwrite, I can't choose "select IM" and select scim, and this bars me
- from inputting Chinese using scim.
+ Since it is very important to enable convenient multilingual text input
+ in the vanguard text editors of KDE(4) Kate and KWrite, this bug must be
+ attached high importance and fixed speedily.
+
+ Granted, there are other workarounds like adding some export lines in
+ ~/.bashrc setting QT_IM_MODULE=ibus etc but such workarounds do not (by
+ themselves) give users the freedom of runtime switching between input
+ methods which is the purpose of "select IM".
+
+ It should be noted that all other KDE 4 applications like Plasma,
+ Konqueror, Amarok etc do not have this problem. This would indicate that
+ this is a problem with Katepart, somehow. So it is a problem with
+ kdelibs and not kdebase. It is also unrelated to the scim package.
+ (Please, those more knowledgeable than me correct this if it is wrong.)
** Changed in: scim-bridge (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Package changed: kdebase (Ubuntu) => kde4libs (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: kde4libs (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
