I 've spent a good few additional hours editing OSM data with the Java- based JOSM application, and since I started running the application by setting "XMODIFIERS=" for iBus I have no longer experienced any problem with text entry: neither failure to get any input text, nor the inability to enter special characters for Spanish.
So that _may_ look like a valid workaround, however, it's just based on my own experience for a limited time, and your mileage may vary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Java Packaging, which is subscribed to icedtea-java7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481656 Title: iBus blocks input in Java application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ibus/+bug/481656/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-java Post to : ubuntu-java@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-java More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
