tab key does not jump between input fields in gcr prompt on GNOME 3
Last modified: 2015-06-30 14:38:47 UTC
pinentry-gnome3 produces a gcr prompt with a password input field and an "OK" and "Cancel" button. When typing in the input field, i'd expect the tab key to move from the password entry to the buttons. Instead, tab appears to add characters to the passphrase string. This does not happen when i'm not using GNOME (e.g. under openbox or xfce). i'm using gcr 3.16.0-1 on debian unstable.
I tested on fedora 21 and 22 with gcr 3.16.0 and gnome-shell 3.16.2 and tab key worked as expected, I'll setup a debian unstable to test it.
Tested on debian unstable with gcr 3.16.0-1 and gnome-shell 3.16.2-4 and works as expected. I installed debian jessie and moved to testing then unstable.
I think i've traced this back to having GTK_IM_MODULE=scim set (and with the scim-gtk-immodule installed). If i remove those settings, then tab works to move between input fields. Maybe this needs to be reassigned to the scim input module?

Yeah, but that's not a gnome component.
Thanks, i've reported it to scim here: https://sourceforge.net/p/scim/bugs/236/
