GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 764649
Unable to type passwords with the "Japanese (Anthy)" input source
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:14:58 UTC
I recently found that I am unable to type using the "Japanese (Anthy)" input source in password fields in gnome-shell. That is I am unable to type using it (I just get English) on the login screen in the password field (though I haven't tried the username field), I am unable to type using it in the graphical prompts for authentication, and I am unable to type using it when setting a new password through the gnome-control-center. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 but have also experienced this issue with Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.18 as well as with GNOME 3.20. I initially reported this issue here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1566357
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
