Marking it confirmed as it has been confirmed by Ming Hua. With the default scim config (/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic = false), keyboard input locks up much more often in Gutsy than in previous releases. Please raise the bug importance. |

I filed a bug (#65489) against gnome-terminal. But since I've seen input freezing in firefox and gaim as well, I am opening a new bug against scim.
I am using edgy, and scim under en_US.UTF-8 locale. Sometimes, I cannot type anything into applications, such as gnome-terminal, firefox and gaim.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure you are using scim. If you are not already, type "im-switch -s scim-pinyin" in a gnome terminal. Log out Gnome and then log back in.
2. Open a gnome-terminal.
3. Press Ctrl-Shift-T for 5 times in very short intervals, to have 6 tabs open in all.
4. If the gnome-terminal is still "alive" at this time. Type "exit" to close tabs one by one. You'll probably get a dead gnome-terminal when closing the second or third tab.
For me, it's a show blocker, because it's very annoying and causes work loss. |
In gutsy, the default mode of scim (detemined by im-switch's settings "scim") uses XIM mode. This may cause problems in some applications and make it impossible to input anything, even if you choose the English/Keyboard input method. This happens most often in nautilus, but is also seen in gedit, gnome-terminal, etc.
This bug has been around for a long time, it only became more visible because of the change in the default settings of scim and the Ubuntu package.
There are two work arounds for this problem:
1. If you do not use any programs linked to libstdc++5 (very few of the Ubuntu official packages do, one know exception is the fglrx video driver for ATi cards; but plenty of third-party programs do, such as firefox downloaded from www.mozilla.com, and Adobe's PDF reader), you can use the scim-immodule setting in im-switch. To change the im-switch setting, just run "im-switch -s scim-immodule" command.
2. If you do not use the deadkeys (often seen on European keyboards, and if you dont' know what a deadkey is, you are not using it), you can change scim's "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic" setting. The procedure to change this setting is:
(a) Set scim not to start automatically (because it's useless to change the configuration file when scim is running) using the command "im-switch -s none". Log out and re-login.
(b) Edit your ~/.scim/config configuration file, change the /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic option to true.
(c) Reset scim to start automatically with command "im-switch -s scim". Log out and re-login.
If you are using programs linked to libstdc++5 as well as deadkeys, there is no known workaround for you. You may try the scim-bridge setting of im-switch (you need to install scim-bridge-* packages first), but it's not clear whether it works or not. |
