GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 628027
Cannot create a new folder with a Chinese name
Last modified: 2015-02-17 23:53:48 UTC
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with GNOME 2.30.2 desktop environment. The Chinese input application is Chewing with iBUS. To input Chinese, the key stroke is Ctrl-Space. Many programs, such as Firefox, GIMP and Chrome, are involved. When I want to save something to a file in a new folder by FILE/SAVE AS/Create New Folder, a dialog popup with a new blank folder. The problem happens when I press "Ctrl-Space" to switch to Chinese input, the new blank folder just disappear. And I need to click "Create New Folder" again to create a new folder. Hence, it is impossible to create a folder with a Chinese name this way. However, to input Chinese characters in the field of "filename" is OK. If I use Nautilus to create a new folder, I can input Chinese characters after pressing "Ctrl-Space". That is my workaround but it is inconvenient. In addition, if I use Okular or Kchmsee, which depends on Qt, I can input Chinese characters as the name of new folder without anything going wrong. I wonder it is the GNOME-related library that is to blame. After a search, libgnomeui is the most likely package that goes wrong. If I made a mistake in the judgement, please tell me. Thank you very much.
-> gtk:gtkfilechooser
One and half a month have passed. Anybody have some information about the progress of dealing with the problem?
This bug is really caused by bug #315280. I'll mark it as a duplicate of that one. (The fix for GtkCellRendererText doesn't seem hard to do; it just needs careful testing. Would you like to try fixing it?) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 315280 ***
I am not familiar with programming in Linux GUI. I am just an end-user and can make a trial to report as much information as possible. In addition, it is involved with other input program. I don't think I can fix the problem by myself. Another question: I am using Ubuntu 10.4, is there easy way to make the fix on my computer by downloading something? Or UpdateManager will do that for me? When UpdateManager opens up a window to show the updates, how can I know the bug fix is contained in certain package?

Please just wait for someone to fix it. > I am using Ubuntu 10.4, is there easy way to make the fix on my computer by > downloading something? > Or UpdateManager will do that for me?

When this gets fixed and released as part of GTK+, you should be able to get an updated GTK+ package for Ubuntu. I don't know if Ubuntu lets you see the release notes for each package before downloading it; in any case GTK+ actually lists the bugs that got fixed with each release in the release notes.
The problem still exists. Please help me. To reproduce the problem in Firefox: (1)File/Save file as... to show a file dialoge (2)Press the "Create New Folder" button (3)To input Chinese, the toggle key is Ctrl-Space. Press Ctrl-Space will make the new folder disppear.
I use iBus for Japanese input, I can create folders from the file chooser just fine, GTK+ 2.22.1, iBus 1.3.9. I also tried Chinese input to see if it's an issue with the input method, it works (I type Kanji blindly and see them, I don't know Chinese).
The problem is not existent in Nautilus. It occurs only in File/Save File As.../Create New Folder. BTW. How can I tell the version of GTK+ and iBus?
gtk-query-immodules-2.0 2>/dev/null - | grep gtk+ ibus-daemon --version
So, my gtk+ is 2.20.1. But "ibus-daemon --version" fails to show the version
How can I tell the version of ibus? Using dpkg -l|grep ibus-chewing showed the version to be 1.2.0.20091211-1. Is it Ver. 1.2.0? Is there PPA for me to upgrade my gtk+ ? Or should the problem have been fixed in gtk+ 2.20.1? And ibus is to blame? I installed Japanese input in ibus in Lucid Lynx with latest update and had the same issue as Chinese input.
For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with latest update, the problem still exists. How can I provide the information you need to fix the problem? Please help me~~
this works correctly with current gtk+ 3.14 and ibus
