Description bosccowitch 2011-04-13 20:33:45 UTC
hi,

i just noticed that i cant activate my ibus in the gnome-shell application search mode, which is a pitty as i added a search provider for a japanese dictionary, also i have some japanese app naming.

my hotkey for for i-bus activation is CTRL + ^, i also tried alt , release, alt right. Manual activation by mouse wont work as clicking the status icon area automatically quits the shell overlay.

my input method is Mozc but as i cant activate it i dont thing its Mozc fault.

GNOME Shell 3.0.0.2

I think the root of this problem is not activation of IBus.

On my machine, IM (IBus, uim) can be activated on the search box.
However, I cannot input any characters when an IM is activated.

gnome-shell version: 3.2.0
IBus version: 1.4.0
uim version: 1.7.1
OS: openSUSE 12.1 Beta1


This bug is similar to the bug 621659.
I doubt it has been really resolved because I could not find any code described in the patch in the gtk3 source.

Still broken in 3.4. This is a not a minor issue; Gnome Shell borders on unusable if you set your locale to Japanese.
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-08-19 20:22:42 UTC
ibus and gnome-shell are going to be tightly integrated in the upcoming 3.6 release.

See 

https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/IBus

Also, note bug 680312 which isn't yet fixed but which I believe is somewhat related to this report.
Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2012-09-18 09:09:54 UTC
somewhat improved in 3.5.91. but not still perfect.

1. the shortcut key doesn't work on the search box.
   it works once going back to the application. for a workaround, changing the input source from the panel still works.

2. if ibus is turned on, I can input through ibus on the search box, but "Enter" key doesn't commit the preedit string into the search box. it fixes the _incomplete_ result and going to bring up application. this is incompatible behavior to others.
Comment 5 Rui Matos 2012-09-18 09:27:10 UTC
1. is bug 643111.

2. should be fixed in 3.5.92, see bug 658325.
