Scim use "Q" as a "A" on azerty keyboard

[mhennus]

When I select "Vietnamese - vi-telex" in "scim", the letter A remains unchanged (in the sense that it is not amended by scim). But, the letter Q acts as the letter A should do. Of course, I have no more available letter Q (A work as an invariable A and Q work as a normal A). I tried with keyboard "Belgian" and "french" in the scim configuration, this changes nothing.

UPDATE : If I put "US keyboard" in scim, everything work fine for me. My Azerty keyboard work as an Azerty keyboard must do !!! I didn't check that before because I think scim will work as I have an Qwerty keyboard. So, there is still a little bug... I suppose all people with non-qwerty keyboard will have problem. For information, I just realise that the special letters in Vietnamese are on the same place on a azerty and a querty keyboard (except A and Q).

For example, when I type:

"aj" I get aj (instead of ạ)
"ax", I get ax (instead of ã)

and :

"qj" gives ạ
"qx" gives ã

All other letters appear to be working properly. Only the A and Q have a problem.

Thanks,

Marc

I'm now on ubuntu intrepid and this bug is still there...

Same problem with letter A and Q.

Doesn't work with "Belgian" or "French" or any azerty keyboard in the scim configuration but work fine with "US keyboard".

I now use Ubuntu Karmic with scim for chinese, and the pinyin IM still has the same problem with french azerty keyboard and A/Q letters.
when I type 'a1' I get 'a1' (but should be 'ā')
when I type 'q1' I get 'ā'
I can't get 'q' whith pinyin IM activated.

Scim packages installed : im-switch, scim-pinyin, scim-tables-zh, scim-chewing, scim-modules*, scim-bridge* + libs
Thanks
