a setting window flashes when ibus-chewing added into IBus which causes typing difficulty.

[Hsin-Yi, Chen (hychen)]

Binary package hint: ibus

Dsitribution: Ubuntu Maverick
Package: ibus_1.3.7-1ubuntu3

Step to reproduce:
1. Press Ctrl + Space to active ibus-chewing
2. setup dialog of ibus-chewing flashes

What patch I attached does:

This patch let ibus does not try set input method engine many times when ibus-chewing actived by pressing Ctrl+Space that Tradintional Users can not type Chinese. After applied the patch, end user can type Chinese again.

This patch does not fix bug really, the setup dialog still flashs sometimes.

[Hsin-Yi, Chen (hychen) (ossug-hychen)]

Not sure if it happens in original ibus, but there is a problem after the following packages are installed.
from czchen reported, my patch has a problem, I will check it.

ii ibus 1.3.7-1ubuntu3hychen1 New input method framework using dbus
ii ibus-gtk 1.3.7-1ubuntu3hychen1 New input method framework using dbus
ii libibus2 1.3.7-1ubuntu3hychen1 New input method framework using dbus
ii python-ibus 1.3.7-1ubuntu3hychen1 New input method framework using dbus

Duplicate procedures:

1. Place -> Home Folder.
    The Nautilus will be opened

2. Change view to list view.
    This issue only happens in list view, icon view and compact view are okay.

3. Select a file and press F2 to rename it. (Or add a new file/folder by right click -> Create Folder/Create Document)

4. Cannot rename file because setting windows flashes.

This issue won't happen if ibus daemon is killed.

Is there any way we can get this released? I have been asking for people to help me with the patch, but apparently it's rather difficult. I am also suffering from this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/637671 which has a patch, and this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/660276 which has yet to be looked at.

I was told that I will have to wait until Natty for these to be fixed in the distribution, is that true? I can't go 6 months without being able to type in Chinese, and I am not downgrading.

I have included this modification in my next patch for ibus, I'm currently in the process of debugging a series of issues and will be pushing the fixes out as soon as I can.
