Comment 4 for bug 80551

In the Feisty beta, I elected to install the proprietary ATI driver rather than the fglrx driver, but I'm still experiencing the same issue. It's weird because I had this problem in Dapper 64-bit, it went away in Edgy 64-bit, and now reappears in Feisty 32-bit beta. When I install Feisty over the weekend, I plan to use the open-source driver (so's I can use eyecandy) and I'll see if it persists.

I must say that as happy as I am to be using Ubuntu, this issue is pretty serious. I don't think you can have default packages that crash other default packages. In general, I'd like to suggest that more attention be paid to supporting installation of alternate input methods, and having those IME's be legible to people viewing e-mails for example with a Mac or Windows computer.
