Besides not showing up, as reported in this bug report, certain characters can't be typed (bug #1761554). The proposed upload unset's the GTK_IM_MODULE variable, which fixes the issues. [Test Case] To confirm that the OSK works properly: 1. Install im-config from bionic-proposed and reboot 2. Log in to an Ubuntu on Wayland session 3. Open gedit and enable the screen keyboard (Settings -> Universal Access -> Typing) 4. When OSK shows up, confirm that you can enter accented characters via long-press. Example: long-press a and select à from the popup Also, confirm that certain keys for special characters result in correct characters. Examples: ~, √, ÷, ×, <, >, ¢ [Fix] A proposed fix has been uploaded to the bionic queue. [Regression Potential] Well, this very fix did cause a regression a few months ago; LibreOffice and the GNOME search bar crashed when trying to use IBus input methods. Those issues have now been fixed. The change is only made for Wayland sessions, which is not default in 18.04. Given this limitation, the regression risk is deemed to be low. [Original description] 1. Login in a wayland session 2. Open an application with a text entry (e.g. gedit) 3. Focus gedit using the touch screen Expected result: The OSK appears Actual results: The OSK does not appear. --- This is caused by the fact that we still set GTK_IM_MODULE in Wayland. IIRC during the cosmic cycle we introduced a change to not set GTK_IM_MODULE under Wayland but we dropped it because there were users experiencing crashes when using libreoffice: upstream should have fixed those crashes to my knowledge. ---- Also why are we setting GTK_IM_MODULE in X11 too? gnome-settings- daemon should be smart enough to load/unload that at run-time when required/not-required.
