** Description changed: + [Impact] + + ibus-libpinyin has proved to crash far too often. One or more files in + ~/.cache/ibus/libpinyin get corrupted somehow, and emptying that + directory allows the user to keep using ibus-libpinyin. + + In disco (and eoan) ibus-libpinyin 1.11.0 and libpinyin 2.2.2 are + present, and the number of crashes has been reduced significantly: + + https://errors.ubuntu.com/?package=ibus-libpinyin&period=month + + Upstream ChangeLog ibus-libpinyin: + ---------------------------------- + version 1.11.0 + * fixes keypad decimal + * fixes emoji candidates + * support configurable opencc config + + version 1.10.92 + * fixes Enter handling + + version 1.10.91 + * support ime.register_trigger in lua extension + * support predicted candidates + * support emoji input + + version 1.10.0 + * bug fixes + + version 1.9.91 + * migrate to use GSettings + * fixes lyx short cut issue + + version 1.9.3 + * translate input method name in ibus menu + + Upstream ChangeLog libpinyin: + ----------------------------- + version 2.2.2 + * minor fixes + + version 2.2.1 + * fixes predicted candidates + + version 2.2.0 + * bug fixes + + The proposal is to backport the disco versions of those packages to + bionic and cosmic in an attempt to prevent crashes. Proposed uploads are + available in this PPA: + + https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/ibus-libpinyin + + [Test Case] + + * Install from {bionic,cosmic}-proposed: + - libpinyin13 + - libpinyin-data + - ibus-libpinyin + + * Use "Intelligent Pinyin" for typing and confirm that no new issues + show up when doing so. + + (This is apparently not a confirmation that the upload really fixes the + bug. Time will tell.) + + [Regression Potential] + + The changes are mostly bug fixes, so the regression risk should be + limited. Also consider that the starting point is a rather unstable + functionality. + + [Original description] + I have experienced random ibus-libpinyin crashes in bionic. I cannot reproduce it, but it occurred at least a few times, even after the official bionic release. Same crashes were also reported in the Ubuntu Chinese forum. Currently, the workaround is to delete the ~/.cache/ibus/libpinyin folder. I talked to Peng Wu, ibus-libpinyin's creator and main maintainer, he suggested that we update the version of ibus-libpinyin to 1.10. Can we give this update a trial?
