Bug Description

Hi,

I used ubuntu-20.04.4 , ibus-mozc and firefox 99.0.
In web site, I input Japanese and English alternately sometimes.

Recentory, I change Japanese to English using hankaku/zenkaku key.
and I input English sentence.
then I return Japanese to push hankaku/zenkaku key.
but I could not input Japanesei.
in top menu, status changed to Japanese.

in this situation, other applicaiton(test editor) could input Japanese.
So, I input Japanese text in text editor, then copy & paste web page in firefox.

today, I found it, I click in top menu Japanese (Mozc), then I can input japanese.

==

Hi,
 I use ubuntu 20.04.4 and Firefox 100.
but this problem occur sometime.

Thanks for your report.

This sounds not as a bug to me, but rather a support request.

As regards the first issue, please go to Settings -> Region & Language, click the cog wheel to the right of the Input Sources label, and make sure that "Use the same source for all windows" is selected.

Since you have a Japanese keyboard, I think it may work smoother is you open the file /usr/share/ibus/component/mozc.xml for editing and replace

<layout>default</layout>

with

<layout>jp</layout>

Pls let us know if that helps.

I have confirmed it another PC, but already set( show attachment ).
so I will change /usr/share/ibus/component/mozc.xml

Hi,

Today, same problem occur.
modify /usr/share/ibus/component/mozc.xml is not effective.

Then, and given that you changed /usr/share/ibus/component/mozc.xml as I suggested, I suggest that you go to Settings -> Region & Language and remove the "Japanese" item so only "Japanese (Mozc)" is left. Doing so will still allow you to type English ("Direct input") while it may reduce the risk for confusion.

Hi,

I reboot PC, and I want to login PC, But I cannot login for password error.
I check key input from keyboard, I found key mapping different.
so I add Settings -> Region & Language and remove the "Japanese" item,
then it is ok.
Japanese environment need "Japanese" and "Japanese (Mozc)"

I use keyboard that is HHKB Lite2.

Sorry if I lead you in the wrong direction.

I'm still not sure that it's a bug you experience. OTOH I'm not using a Japanese keyboard. Possibly someone who does is able to tell if there is more into it when using a keyboard with a hankaku/zenkaku key together with ibus-mozc.
