CellWriter does not work correctly with custom keyboard layouts #46

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I've just bought a Wacom Bamboo and tried CellWriter for handwriting
input. Its recognition is very good, but I get very strange behavior in
combination with my keyboard layout.

When I write something like foo<enter-button>bar, I get a result
like this:

oggbar

When you look at the keyboard layout (can be found at neo-layout.org),
you can tell, that the first part gets "typed" on the neo2 keyboard as
if one were typing on a us keyboard, but the second part (and all
following parts, too), after enter was clicked get typed correctly.

I am thoroughly baffled by this. It seems, that typing into the window
manually will cause CellWriter to become confused again.

I've created a log with xev of such a session. If you use vim, you
can :%foldc! to hide the motion events caused by my pen hovering over
xev, so that you may see clearer what's going on.

In that session I create the xev window and move it around a bit (the
first folded-away part), then I type "foo", "foo", "foo" with
CellWriter (it shows up as "oggfoofoo"), then i type uiae in the window
manually and type "foo", "foo", "foo" in CellWriter again (and it shows
up as "oggfoofoo" as well).

I did not have this issue under Fedora 17-19 (KDE). I recently reinstalled with 
Fedora 21 (xfce), and am now seeing this behavior with a Dvorak layout on my 
Thinkpad x220t.
