@Jeremy: My failed attempt to address the issue for Wayland indicates
that this issue is complex. Maybe there is a need to tweak ibus itself
somehow.

Installed im-config 0.34-1ubuntu1.2 from bionic-proposed, rebooted, and
started a Wayland session. Could input Japanese and Chinese characters
in LO Writer using ibus-mozc respective ibus-libpinyin without LO Writer
crashing, so this version fixes the regression reported in comment #17.

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted im-config into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-
config/0.34-1ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

Thanks for reporting this. I can confirm it with ibus-mozc and
LibreOffice. Same problem with ibus-libpinyin. (I think I only tested
with gedit, where it works, before making the change...)

Even if Wayland is not default in Ubuntu 18.04, this regression is too
serious to be acceptable. I'm going to reverse the change.

Thanks again!

I feel like the update im-config 0.34-1ubuntu1.1 bugged out ibus-mozc on
Wayland.

I'm getting crashes in LibreOffice---and in some other applications
(Gnome shell search bar), the candidate window is not showing up.  It
was definitely working at some point before this update.

Could be that I'm wrong about this update causing this, I'm not really
sure ... Someone else experiencing similar issues?

@Jeremy: Do you think there is a Bionic solution for X in sight? If not,
I still think that a note in the docs (saying that it works only on
Wayland) would be appropriate.

Went through the steps in the test case. A relogin in step 4. proved to
not be sufficient; rebooting was needed. Besides that I verified the
test case using im-config 0.34-1ubuntu1.1 from bionic-proposed.

** Description changed:

+ im-config SRU request
+ =
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ When in a Wayland session, accented characters as well as some special
+ characters can't be entered via the screen keyboard. The issue is fixed
+ via the proposed upload of im-config, which has been changed to not set
+ the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable for IBus on Wayland (previously
+ GTK_IM_MODULE was set to "ibus").
+ 
+ Making this accessibility tool work without issues on Wayland is
+ important enough to justify this SRU.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ 1. Log in to an Ubuntu on Wayland session
+ 
+ 2. Open gedit and enable the screen keyboard
+(Settings -> Universal Access -> Typing)
+ 
+ -> Accented characters via long-press does not work.
+Example: long-press a and select à from the popup
+ 
+Also, certain keys for special characters result in incorrect
+characters or nothing. Examples: ~, √, ÷, ×, <, >, ¢
+ 
+ 3. Install im-config from bionic-proposed
+ 
+ 4. Relogin and repeat step 2.
+ 
+ -> Everything works as expected
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ There are reasons to presuppose that GTK_IM_MODULE does not need to be
+ set at all for IBus on a GNOME desktop:
+ 
+ * GTK has a mechanism for selecting a built-in IM.
+ 
+ * IBus is default in GNOME, and vanilla GNOME (which does not make use
+   of im-config) does not set the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable.
+ 
+ But 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]
+ 
  I filed this bug upstream last month but it hasn't gotten much attention
  so I'm filing it here because I think we need to track this issue for
  the Ubuntu 18.04 release
  
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/109
  
  Test Case
  -
  1. Open the Settings app. Click Universal Access.
  2. Enable the Screen Keyboard. (Optionally, turn on "Always Show Universal 
Access Menu" to make turning the Screen Keyboard on and off easier.)
  3. Open Text Editor
  4. Click the u button on the Screen Keyboard
  5. Long-press the u button on the Screen Keyboard for a few seconds. On the 
popup, click the ü character.
  
  What Happens
  
  In Step 4, u is entered in the Text Editor document.
  
  Nothing is entered in Step 5.
  
  This bug affects any of the "extended characters" clicked on from the
  long-press popup in the Screen Keyboard.

[Bug 1761554] Re: [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hmm.. I deleted that fork of gnome-user-docs without remembering to
preserve that snippet.

But the idea was to tell the user to:

1. Switch the input method to "none"

2. Log in to a Wayland session

OTOH, if we would change im-config to not set set GTK_IM_MODULE when
IBus is the selected input method, the docs hint would only need to
include item 2.

This, of course, only applies if we don't figure out a way to make it
work also in X.

[Bug 1761554] Re: [bionic] Extended characters in GNOME screen keyboard don't get entered

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Did some testing on bionic.

It appears to me as if the feature is designed solely for Wayland. Yes,
on Wayland with GTK_IM_MODULE unset it seems to work without issues. On
Wayland with GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus I can reproduce the issues as described
above.

On Xorg the feature works very poorly irrespective of the value of
GTK_IM_MODULE. Basically you can only type the characters you see on the
first instance of the screen keyboard (which depends on the effective
XKB layout). Capitalized letters get typed as small letters, and most
extended characters don't result in anything or some wrong character.

Considering that Xorg will be default in 18.04, would it be worth the
regression risk to stop im-config from setting GTK_IM_MODULE this late
in the cycle in order to fix the feature on Wayland?

After having read one of Carlos' comments in the upstream issue, I
switched to a German XKB layout and was then able to type ü via the
screen keyboard.

Hmm.. I now see that the issue is present in 17.10 too, so it's probably
due to something else but the latest IBus changes which affected
Ctrl+Shift+U.

I also see that some extended characters work. For instance, the letters
å, ä and ö, which are in the Swedish alphabet, work for me. Weird.

@Jeremy: Your workaround with not setting GTK_IM_MODULE makes me think
of bug #1760308, where that would have been an alternative solution (see
comment #6). Now Sebastien fixed it in IBus instead.

To stop setting GTK_IM_MODULE would be an easy thing in im-config, of
course. I'm hesitating since we have set that variable to ibus for many
cycles, and we are very late in the cycle. I don't understand the
significance of setting it, and I think it would be desirable to at
least consult with one or two IM users before making that change.

Or maybe Sebastien, who is already familiar with the IBus changes which
screwed up things wrt Ctrl+Shift+U, can give us a hint offhand on what
could be done on the IBus side.

Gunnar, please see my comments at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-
shell/issues/109#note_98033

Can we stop setting GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus at least in the GNOME and Ubuntu
sessions?
