[Bug 276134] Re: [intrepid] no prompt to save open work on shutdown/restart
I agree: This bug _must not_ remain low priority! I've just stepped into the trap, thinking ah nice, since I use gnome, i can happily log out without checking for unsaved work... and there i was, trying to recover my openoffice document. If the feature had never been there, you could convince me that it's ok if people have to pay attention themselves. But as it used to work, it is highly dangerous! Please fix it!

[Bug 66104] Why is this bug only medium importance??
I don't understand why this bug is labelled only medium importance. It should be critical or important, at least. The workarounds don't really solve the problem. This bug seriously threatens to scare off users who need multiple input methods - they may not be the majority, but they are an important segment of the linux population. On windows, input methods always work flawlessly for me. If I look at the critical bugs, there are things like synaptics touch pad(laptop) clicks too easily, and if I look at the high importance section, there are shocking problems like Cannot create a user håkan. Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend anyone. But I seriously believe that the standard, pre-installed input method changer in Ubuntu absolutely needs to work properly if Ubuntu wants to be what it wants to be. I'm looking forward to downloading the solution to this problem, and thank you to anyone who helps to solve it! Christoph P.S.

[Bug 66104] Re: scim: input freezes in various applications under XIM mode
Ming and Arne: Thank your for the quick answers. Arne: OK, I installed the patch (or, more precisely: I added your two lines to my apt sources and then the automatic updater proposed to install new versions of libx11-6 and libx11-data, which I accepted) Some quick testing shows that I can probably use my linux (xubuntu 7.10) with scim now! Thunderbird does not get blocked every 2 minutes any more. Thanks! I'll tell you if old or new problems occur. Just a strange thing: Unlike other updates, the ppa versions keep showing in the automatic updater: Other updates, 2 entries, both wanting to upgrade to the now installed version: - libx11-6, X11 client-side library, from version 2:1.1.1-1ubuntu5~ppa1 to 2:1.1.1-1ubuntu5~ppa1 (Size: 592 KB) - libx11-data, X11 client-side library, from version 2:1.1.1-1ubuntu5~ppa1 to 2:1.1.1-1ubuntu5~ppa1 (Size: 201 KB) Is this something to worry about? Should I just delete the two entries from the apt sources list? Forgive me my beginner questions, and tell me to go somewhere else if this is not the right place to ask them :-) Have a good day Christoph -- scim: input freezes in various applications under XIM mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 66104] Re: scim: input freezes in various applications under XIM mode
Two questions concerning the dynamic workaround. Background: I use scim to input * korean (hangul) * modern greek (from the m17n package) * latin text (german, french, spanish, english) from a swiss (german) keyboard (de/CH) It basically works, but I suffer from the same irregular keyboard freezes that many people have reported above. On the swiss keyboard i definitely need the dead keys for ~, ^ ï, ó, è, ñ and this sort of combinations. 1. Do I understand well that in my case the dynamic workaround does _not_ work? 2. What about Arne Goetjes patch? Can/should I use something like that as a beginner? Thank you very much for taking care of this nasty problem!

[Bug 66104] Re: scim: input freezes in various applications under XIM mode, additional information
I can reproduce the error by opening a bash terminal and hitting ctrl+shift+t many times without pausing. When I do this, not _all_ keyboard input is blocked: * ctrl-shift-t and ctrl-shift-w work (open and close tabs) * I can copy text with ctrl-shift-c * alt-F4 works, to close the window Another weird behaviour: What I do, variant A: * I open one terminal * I type some special character (ä, ü, à, etc.) * I open a new terminal with ctrl-shift-n (sometimes it also happens when i switch to an existing terminal window) What I do, variant B: * I open one terminal (this works also with thunderbird) * I open a new terminal with ctrl-shift-n * Before the new terminal is ready, i type anything. What i get: * Both windows are basically keyboard blocked. * But not really, I give some examples: - close all terminals (works the same with thunderbird) - open new terminal (I call it window1) - ctrl-shift-n and without delay n (or any other letter). window2 appears. - input (window2): hello. no reaction. - alt-tab (works fine, focus changes to window1.) - input: gugus (and here, at the first key stroke, the n appears in window2, along with the first g in window1!) - alt-tab (focus on window2 again, nothing else happens.) - alt-tab (focus on window1, nothing else) - input: x (xugus appears, making sxugus). It's not always exactly the same, but there seems to be something wrong with the assigning of input to a certain window if one does not wait for the window to completely build before one types. With Thunderbird, it's much worse because the same thing happens and there, the windows take more time to load. I don't know it that's the same bug as the one above, but it seems to me. Thanks to anyone who tries to find a solution to this!
