[Bug 1242394] Re: iBus package broken in Ubuntu 13.10

 

I recently upgraded from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS and this same bug seems
to be affecting me. Ibus stopped working after the upgrade. At first it
was not obvious because part of the upgrade also reset my keyboard to US
English.

What happens (having changed the shortcut keys to something sane instead
of Super-Space): the shortcut changes the notification icon, but leaves
the language being typed unchanged.

How can something as important as keyboard input be so messed up in an
LTS release??

Title:
  iBus package broken in Ubuntu 13.10

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was using the iBus package to use a different language to input in
  Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. But after my upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10
  Saucy Salamander from Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, though I was
  notified that the combination for activating the iBus was changed to
  super+space (which was again a bad idea, because we were already
  accustomed to the ctrl+space combination), that didn't seem to change
  the input language.

  But iBus seemed to work when 'Keyboard input method system' in the
  'Language Support' setting was set to iBus. But again, the characters
  that were displayed were totally random and not according to the way
  they were displayed earlier.

  Hope an update for iBus might come up soon
