Mozc Input Not Activating Properly When Switching from Non-Latin Language via Ibus #782

Closed FlyingButteryTuna closed 1 year ago

FlyingButteryTuna commented 1 year ago

Description

When switching from a Non-latin language (e.g., Russian, Armenian, Greek, etc.) to Mozc using ibus, the input remains in the language you switched from instead of switching to the expected Japanese input.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add any non-latin language in Ibus.
  2. Switch to the selected non-latin language.
  3. Type something in the selected non-latin language.
  4. Switch to Mozc input.
  5. Type something

Expected behavior

After switching to Mozc input, the actual input should be in the JP.

Actual behavior

The input remains in the previously selected non-latin language instead of switching to Mozc input.

Version or commit-id

Version: 2.29.5160.102-1

Environment

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: 6.4.6-arch1-1 Input Method Framework (IMF) for Linux: Ibus Related Applications: Any application where user input is allowed

Investigations

Whether this issue happens on both Ibus and other IMF (e.g. Fcitx, uim).

specific to Ibus; Mozc on fcitx works as expected (I'm assuming that's the case for uim and other IMFs too).

Whether this issue happens on other IMEs (e.g. Anthy, SKK).

N/A

What applications this issue happens on (e.g. Chromium, gedit).

occurs in any application that allows user input.

What applications this issue does not happen on (e.g. Chromium, gedit).

N/A

(optional) What versions or commit-ids this issue did not happen on

no-investigation, but it's been there for at least 5 years (had the same issue on Debain + Ibus around that time).

Additional context

Switching to English input and then switching to Mozc does fix this issue, so I assume the issue is related to some sort of initial input (keymap layout?).

Hi FlyingButteryTuna, Thank you for your feedback with detailed investigations and the screen record. They are very helpful for us.

For Japanese input, Ibus uses the keyboard layout you previously used by default. You can specify the keyboard layout by modifying ~/.config/mozc/ibus_config.textproto.

The details are described in mozc/docs/configurations.md at master · google/mozc.

You might want to change layout : "default" to layout : "ja" or other specific layout. Then run ibus write-cache; ibus restart.

Thanks,

Now that makes me feel dumb. Default -> US indeed solves that. Closing.

It should be a common issue for users of non-latin languages. Your question is valuable to share the problem and solution.

Thank you!
