Bug Description
On a 6.06LTS system with all updates, a Japanese user recently developed trouble entering Japanese text with SCIM into oowriter. The symptom is that oowriter hangs after SCIM input converts a Kanji and the user types "enter" to accept the conversion. The characters are never un-hilighted and oowriter is unresponsive (does not repaint after exposes, but also does not use any CPU time). SCIM input into other programs still works OK.
An unusual twist: if the user logs in over another session using "Switch User," then SCIM and oowriter work OK. (IOW, if DISPLAY=:20.0, SCIM works.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest ubuntu release?
Also, if this is still a problem, does the information at https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ SCIM#Additional %20configuratio n%20if% 20you're% 20not%20using% 20a%20CJK% 20session help ?
Thanks in advance.
