            Bug ID: 847495
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
          Severity: unspecified
           Version: 17
          Priority: unspecified
                CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

           Summary: For non-US keyboard layout Ibus adds English (US) to
                    and other input methods use US layout
        Regression: ---
      Story Points: ---
    Classification: Fedora
                OS: Unspecified
          Reporter: daniil.ivanov(a)gmail.com
              Type: Bug
     Documentation: ---
          Hardware: Unspecified
        Mount Type: ---
            Status: NEW
         Component: ibus
           Product: Fedora

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.4.99.20120712-1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
I have non-US keyboard - Finish and I use Ibus with Russian m17-translit.
I had this setup in Fedora 16 and it was working perfectly fine. The problems
started when I upgraded to Fedora 17.
Now Ibus has three input methods listed:
Finish - Finish
Russian - translit (m17n)
English - English (US)

If I remove English (US) from the list it re-appears on Ibus restart.
Another problem is using Russian translit, it uses US keyboard layout, instead
of Finish.

Changing "Use system keyboard layout" option has no effect on the setup.

--- Comment #1 from fujiwara <tfujiwar(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Because m17n:ru:translit needs 'us' layout.
Currently if an input method engine specifies an XKB keymap, the keymap engine
will be added in the ibus list automatically.
Probably this would be a limitation to use libxklavier.

% /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-m17n --xml | less
        <engine>
            <name>m17n:ru:translit</name>
            <longname>translit (m17n)</longname>
            <layout>us</layout>
        </engine>


Probably if you use Fedora 18 GNOME, the problem won't be happened because f18
GNOME will use XKB directly instead of libxklavier.

How come it's not a bug? I use m17n:ru:translit with Finnish keyboard for years
now and it's only in Fedora 17 it requires US. This is clearly a regression.

I mean showing us layout is not a bug.
m17n:ru:translit with Finnish would be another problem for now.
Transferring to ibus-m17n.

I tend to merge this into bug 760108, though I'm not confident if these 2 bugs
are same, as we didn't get enough feedback.

Reporter, could you check the comments at the bug and if appropriate please try
the test RPM below?

I've checked /usr/share/ibus-m17n/setup/default.xml. It contains "us"
layout
for every single input method. This doesn't fit to non-US keyboards.
However, then I've changed layout to "fi" for "m17n:*" and
"m17n:ru:kbd" and
/usr/libexec/ibus-engine-m17n --xml still shows "us" as a layout for
m17n:ru:translit.

This bug was reported against Fedora 16 and says about impossibility to input
certain symbols. I have a problem with Fedora 17 and am able to input any
symbols, however I have to do it with US layout, while physically having
Finnish/Swedish keyboard. I doubt they are related.

OK, I see.  But could you please try the RPM just in case?  It internally uses
keycodes instead of symbols so it shouldn't depend on layout.  If it works ok,
the fix would be easily upstreamable.

If it doesn't work, as you noticed above, you can tweak default.xml and add
<layout>fi</layout> to m17n:* element.  Note that
<virtual-keyboard>us</virtual-keyboard> is not related to keyboard layout,
but
a hint for external virtual keyboard software like eekboard or iok.

This version of ibus-m17n made ibus defuct. I'm not able to switch input
methods, and taskbar applet shows empty list of available methods. However,
ibus-setup shows the same three input methods: Finnish, US and ru-translit.

Adding <layuout>fi</layout> to "m17n:*" in
/usr/share/ibus-m17n/setup/default.xml has workarounded the problem for me.
Though, this is really wrong as my system keyboard layout is already "fi".
Apparently, "us" is never correct unless user set's one of his layouts as
"us".

I will certainly add a user option for that in setup UI.  Now thinking about
the default value...

Probably I misunderstood the situation.  I thought that all the m17n maps are
designed to run on us layout (as layout diagrams in ru-kbd.min or ko-han2.mim),
but perhaps some of them are not, particularly "transliteration" maps.  Is that
right?  If so, m17n:*:translit layout should not touch the layout?

(In reply to comment #8)

Sorry about that.  Maybe the patch was outdated.

I cannot say about kbd as they are supposed to resemble key positions in
original layouts, but in my experience they work badly on non-US layouts. On
the other hand, transliteration means typing Latin letters with keyboard one
has. Difference between qwerty (US layout), azerty (used in France), qwertz
(used in Germany and Switzerland) and, for example, Swe/Fin layout are just few
symbols. It's very frustrating to have additional US keyboard, which does
exactly the same as original layout, but doesn't match to writings on the
buttons. Thus, forcing additonal US layout is a bug as it adds no value and
makes switching more difficult.

OK, thanks for the confirmation.  I'll fix this by adding the following entry
to default.xml.in.in:

    <!-- Don't touch the layout for transliteration maps. -->
    <engine>
          <name>m17n:*:translit</name>
        <layout>default</layout>
    </engine>

(I'll postpone adding an option to ibus-setup-m17n because of the
implementation reason - it may cause race condition with ibus-dconf)
