Hello I'm the upstream fcitx developer. I don't really think what you meet is a bug.
First let me introduce the "preedit" concept, it's usually the underlined text in the input box that you want to type text in. So, all zh-bopomofo, zh-pinyin, zh-py, zh-tonepy, are trying to use preedit. And actually fcitx-m17n will detect that if "embed preedit" is available for this window, it will not use a window. And if you don't want to use "embed preedit" at all, you can use ctrl+alt+p to toggle this option. For example, if you are using zh-pinyin, type "a i 1", the visual reflect will be: a (underlined) ai (underlined) āi (not underlined) ibus-m17n may choose different action that it want to always display preedit. (I don't know), but I always thought preedit is more preferable if it can be used. And you can try typing in xterm (which doesn't support "embed preedit"), it will display an input window. And if the window which you are typing in doesn't display anything, please report bug against that application, since it declares that it supports "embedded preedit", while it actually doesn't. And in this case, you can always use "ctrl+alt+p" to workaround. -- Regards, Xuetian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
