no zero width joiner

[Nhorning]

Binary package hint: language-support-input-ne

I've been trying to use the Romanized Nepali input method with Lucid Beta (10.4). It works quite well, except where one would expect the zero width joiner character to be, the "=" sign still prints. This makes the creation of certain half characters very difficult. "न्न" for instance is not used very much. But, in order to get "न्‍‌न" the zwj character is needed. I have tried setting options in the layouts section of the keyboard preferences, but these do not seem to change anything. That, of course, may be the entire bug, but I am not sure where to file that.

Workaround: For now, I am using the character map to copy the zwj character, and then using ctrl-v when I need it. This works for my purposes but is obviously not ideal.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

That's funny. I logged this bug years ago. I don't think I've been having it recently.

Oh, never mind. It still happens. I guess I just haven't been trying to type Nepali much.
