Thanks for the reply,

Yes this bug is very much live in the final 7.04. I've had to switch
to UIM as I'm doing Java development and SCIM is as good as useless
there.

Here's how to replicate:

Fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04. I'm using en_GB.UTF-8 locale and yes it
is registered in the global file. The problem does not seem to affect
other dists of linux.

Install SCIM and Japanese support as of:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Japanese_Input_and_Fonts_in_Ubuntu_7%2e04
(Which incidentally I wrote)

Now with applications such as netbeans, or anything else Java, or even
xterm, when SCIM-Anthy is selected as input method, it reverts back to
just accepting western characters. I think this is a problem with the
XIM interface connecting to SCIM. In QT apps, when SCIM is selected as
the input (right hand clicking on a lineinput box), no problems, but
when you select XIM as the input, even when SCIM is set up in XIM
mode, still nothing but direct style input.

Have tried many hours trying to fix, but no luck.

Cheers, Ryu
