[Bug 1163687] Re: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard
#14: Input of Unicode characters as such works, but only after copy pasting them. What is broken is the input methods normally provided via the UI toolkit. If you are testing under Unity or Gnome Shell, you could do the following to test such an input method: Configure your Right Alt as 'compose key', by going to the Keyboard Layout settings, then 'Options…', and tick the Right Alt key under 'Compose key position'. Now you should be able to hit the Right Alt, and then consecutively type a '/' and an 'o' to get ø, or hit Right Alt and 's' and 's' to get ß. Basically any sensible composition of keys you can think of will yield the character you would expect. You can test the compose method in any text area on the desktop basically, such as this comment field, Gedit, and even gnome-terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163687 Title: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1163687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Timo, is the procedure the same for testing this on the desktop? What steps would I take to insert a unicode character? (apologies, english- only speaker that never has any need to insert "foreign" characters). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163687 Title: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1163687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Updated at qt5-beta2 (5.0.2+dfsg1-7ubuntu2~saucy1~test1). Now this should be testable also on device, since the 'flip' was made and saucy images work again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163687 Title: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1163687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Surely if this patch fixes the issue, it should be possible to backport the same fix also to the Qt 5.0.1 in raring (unless there is something blocking the patch to work with 5.0.1 vs. 5.0.2 in saucy). The policy is to first have the fix tested in a development release, so let's have that first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163687 Title: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1163687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What about Raring? Is this a fix that can get back-ported?

[Bug 1163687] Re: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard
This is available for saucy in qt5-beta2 PPA (https://launchpad.net /~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2). I'd like to have before/after testing done on device, but using saucy on device is at the moment hard before the images generation is in full speed and network is working. The updated package also includes the fix for qtbase bug #1181359 (and the PPA contains newer qtpim and qtdeclarative). The test procedure is: 1. Have the latest saucy image installed on your device. Log in, and do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on the device 2. apt-add-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-beta2 3. apt- get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (check that you get the PPA versions of the packages) 4. Reboot. Test! After testing has been done, the updated version can be uploaded to saucy from lp:~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/qtbase-opensource- src_5.0.2 (orig tarball already in saucy archives) ** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163687 Title: Impossible to insert any kind of foreign characters with the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1163687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
