Yes, it would be helpful if you could do so. Please note that we'd also need a reproducible test case at bug #1319872, or else that bug will be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315579 Title: When using scim-m17n in gedit, the backspace and delete keys are dysfunctional Status in gedit: Expired Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in scim package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in scim package in Debian: New Bug description: scim-m17n is an input method used for typing many languages, especially those with complex characters. With scim-m17n enabled in gedit, when one presses the backspace or delete key, then instead of performing the expected work, the cursor simply moves one space ahead and places "" there. Actually when I paste that sign here, it is just an empty box. But there in gedit the box contains four digits arranged in two rows: "0008" for backspace, and "007F" for delete. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate more clearly. With scim-m17n is enabled, when one presses the backspace key when gets a result equivalent to typing: <Ctrl+Shift+U> 0008 <Enter> With scim-m17n is enabled, when one presses the delete key when gets a result equivalent to typing: <Ctrl+Shift+U> 007F <Enter> This behaviour is evident only in gedit. When using scim-m17n in Libre Office, Thunderbird, and other applications, the backspace and delete keys work normally. In gedit with scim-m17n enabled, all the other instructional keys like insert, home, end, page up, page down-- these all work normally. I have been using scim-m17n since 2007, and this was never an issue until installing Ubuntu 14.04 which ships with gedit version 3.10.4. This issue is a serious problem for those working with scim in gedit.
