Summary: Problem with French-Canadian layout

Summary: Problem with French-Canadian layout Product: Fedora Version: 15 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: ibus AssignedTo: tfujiwar@redhat.com ReportedBy: nomnex@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: tfujiwar@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, shawn.p.huang@gmail.com Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: ---
Description of problem:
First off, this is far beyond my level of understanding. I try to explain in an understandable way:
I use a JP notebook with a en_US OS. I usually type in English. Because I need to type French, I have set a Canadian French layout keyboard using a setxbmap command. When I push right "Ctrl+Shift" keys, the layout switch. All is fine.
Now, when I rely on ibus to input Japanese and french, switching from one language input to another (Alt+Shift), the Canadian-keyboard layout is not complete. Many of the keys are not mapped to the correct character.
e.g. the "[" and "]" char: I can type them using ibus (japanese-anthy) or/and when I switch layout using the setxbmpa command (ibus off). But I cannot type them with ibus set to French-Canadian input.
I am not positive, but it appears only the basic keys (a-z, dead keys and usage signs) are correctly mapped on the fr_ca layout in ibus, andnot the full layout. Is this possible?
To sum up:
When I switch from "default US" to "fr_ca" (ibus is not in action), the "[" and "]" char are mapped to a different keys on the keyboard, but they are available.
Using ibus:
When I turn ibus on to input "jp", the same char "[" and "]" are still mapped on the same keys-all fine. If I switch to ibus "fr_ca" input, the "[" and "]" char are not mapped to anything on my keyboard. I have the same problem with several other keys not mapped to anything, or incorrectly mapped, on the Canadian-French layout
My apology if my explanation is not very clear. Or if I am doing something wrong (e.g. user mistake, or misunderstanding).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F-15 LXDE IBus 1.3.99.20110908 (Japanese-anthy & Fr_ca inputs)
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set ibus with JP & Canadian input - add French-Canadian keyboard in advance pref (on a non Canadian keyboard) 2. Switch from JP to Fr_Ca, using Alt+Shift 3. Try the correspondent keys to a default Canadian keyboard, "[", "{", "]", "{", etc. most of them are not available, and some other key are changed,eg. ">" instead of the expected "}"
Actual results:
using ibus and switching to the Canadian-French layout is incomplete on my system.
Expected results:
full layout change, using ibus with "fr_ca" (what setxbmap command does when I need to input French, and when the input method is switched off)
