Package: ibus-m17n
Version: 1.3.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On a latin type2 qwerty keyboard (Norwegian):
After selecting hi-phonetic in ibus, in Gnome-shell, expected characters 
according to /usr/share/m17n/hi-phonetic.mim are not produced for symbols 
accessed with AltGr.

E.g.:
Pressing [ (AltGr-8) does not give ड
Pressing ] (AltGr-9) does not give ऋ
Pressing @ (AltGr-2) does not give ॅ 
Pressing $ (AltGr-4) does not give ॉ

It used to work in Squeeze.
As a workaround I am for example able to remap the following:

  ((aring) ?ॉ)
  ((ae) ?ऋ)
  ((oslash) ?ड)

But this does not work:

  ((Aring) ?ऑ)
  ((AE) ?ॅ)
  ((Ooblique) ?ढ)

nor:

  ("Å" ?ऑ)
  ("Æ" ?ॅ)
  ("Ø" ?ढ)

Thus the available keys for remapping become too few.

But that could be because I do not know how to specify shift-accessed symbols 
as sequences.
Is there any user oriented information about how to do this, both regarding 
<AltGr> and <Shift>? I've searched quite a bit without luck...

The same problems occur for several other mim files, fx grc-mizuochi.mim: 
Characters accessed with <AltGr>, <Shift>-<AltGr> and 
<Shift>-some-non-ascii-letter produce only the default non-ibus characters for 
such keyboard keys, as defined in the files at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ (or 
so it seems to me).

Best regards
Tore
