VSCode doesn't let me select with the mouse with ibus-pinyin

[KaahSilva]

Type: Bug My mouse is working perfectly in other editors, but inside vscode specifically in the code files I can't select them. I already uninstalled the vs code and the extensions, I already checked some settings and I didn't get the solution

VS Code version: Code 1.75.1 (441438abd1ac652551dbe4d408dfcec8a499b8bf, 2023-02-08T21:32:34.589Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22621 Modes: Sandboxed: No

Could you please try the following page in Chrome?

• open https://jsfiddle.net/my4vg2wc/
• open developer tools (cmd+alt+i)
• click with the input device inside the red rectangle and drag around, and then release
• what is the output? do you receive pointermove events when dragging outside the red area?

This is how it looks for me when doing it with the mouse. The pointermove event counter increases when the mouse is outside the red area:

I'm getting this too after updating from 1.74.3-1673284829 to 1.76.0-1677667493

It also happens with a new install of the insiders build code-insiders_1.77.0-1678081396_amd64.deb (both versions tried with --disable-extensions)

The fiddle in chromium Version 110.0.5481.100 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) shows the same as you, but the counter increments whether the pointer is inside or outside the red area

In vscode it seems to happen after the window loses focus, and can be fixed by making a selection with the keyboard before trying to select with the mouse. Actually it seems like any typing fixes it. Double or triple clicking to select a word or line doesn't fix it. There's nothing shown in the developer tools console while selecting or trying to select text.

The same problem, but mine is Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.It happened after I updated from xxx(I forget the version, but the problem happened about one mounth ago.).Sometime the problem fixed automatically, but after a while, it happen again.

I also ungraded to ubuntu 22, but I forgot whether I can use mouse to select when ubuntu 20, because I always use 'shift' key to select contents(recently my friend work with me on my computer, he complains about unable to select by mouse)

In my computer using vivaldi browser, I can drag mouse with the infos like in the png shown.

weird, it may be ibus-pinyin caused. And use ibus-libpinyin, ibus-sunpinyin or rime no problem, where the mouse selection can be used in vscode both stable and insider version

version info( reset ibus no use)

$ ibus version
IBus 1.5.26
$ sudo apt-cache policy ibus-pinyin 
ibus-pinyin:
  Installed: 1.5.0-6.1build1
  Candidate: 1.5.0-6.1build1
  Version table:
 *** 1.5.0-6.1build1 500
....
$ ibus reset-config
....
$ ibus restart

ibus-pinyin github repo codes not updated since 2012 and I not met with problems before Maybe it's time to change ime

Oh, yes, that's right. As soon as I saw your comment, I change my input source to English, the problem was gone! Wow, the problem is the ibus-pinyin...

So Sorry for my somewhat arbitrary comment, ibus is still in maintainance but in a new organization.

@KaahSilva Because you never got back to us, we'll use this issue to track the problem on linux with ibus.

[deepak1556]

Can users on linux check if the issue is present with our insiders version https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders that comes with a updated runtime version.

[sci-42ver]

tested ibus-pinyin still no use in ubuntu 22 with x11. (ibus not newest version, If I have time, I tried upgraded ubuntu to 23 and test whether work)

But after I switched ime, I found fcitx5 can use mouse select both in wayland with 1.78 code version (here temporarily using archlinux to auto use newest package, avoiding version lagging) and x11 where 1.77 also works .

Thanks for your replies and development dealing with the bug.
