Chinese input method's not working #807

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,
I'm using Editra 0.6.99 on Ubuntu 12.04 and it seems the input method doesn't 
work well with it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Normally, the candidate word should be typed after it is chosen, but in editra 
it doesn't work. Nothing changes after I choose a candidate word.
(But when I use the Japanese input method there isn't anything wrong. And I can 
type in Chinese normally after using the Japanese input method, but it works 
only once. When you want to type a second word in Chinese you'll have to use 
Japanese input method to type something again, delete it, change input method 
and type in Chinese.)
I'm using an input method called fcitx. The Chinese input method is 
fcitx-Sougou Pinyin and the Japanese one is fcitx-Anthy.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Editra0.9.66
Ubuntu12.04

What method of install was your version installed with (Binary/Source)?
I installed editra with source codes and I think I'm using wxPython2.8 but I'm 
not very sure.

Thanks :)

This is an unfortunate upstream bug in the wxWidgets library (used by Editra). 
The main text editor control does not support IME very well at all.

I have seen some discussion on the wx-dev mailing list about improving/fixing 
some of these issues in wxWidgets 2.9/3.0. But outside of it getting fixed 
upstream there is not really anything we can do in Editra it self to fix it.

As a side note there is a much newer version of Editra that has been released 
some time ago: 0.7.20.
