[Bug 1974076] New: Chinese input methods use previously enabled layout

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1974076

            Bug ID: 1974076
           Summary: Chinese input methods use previously enabled layout
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 34
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: ibus-libpinyin
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: pwu(a)redhat.com
          Reporter: nickolay.ilyushin(a)gmail.com
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
                    petersen(a)redhat.com, pwu(a)redhat.com
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



Description of problem:
ibus-libpinyin (and most probably several other input methods) uses `default`
keyboard layout instead of `us` or whatever fits best. This effectively means
that the last keyboard layout (non-IME) will be used for the pinyin input. For
users which use non-Latin keyboard layouts, such as Russian or Ukrainian, this
makes pinyin input unusable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.12.0


How reproducible: easily.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable pinyin input method in your settings.
2. Switch to e.g. Russian layout.
3. Switch to pinyin IME.
4. You will type Russian letters and pinyin IME will not trigger.

Actual results:
`4. You will type Russian letters and pinyin IME will not trigger.`

Expected results:
`4. You will type *Latin* letters and pinyin IME *will* trigger.`

Additional info:
There are two workarounds:
1. Manually patch `/usr/share/ibus/component/libpinyin.xml` and change `layout`
to `us` from `default`. I don't know how this will work with non-QWERTY
keyboards though.
2. Switch to a Latin layout before switching to pinyin.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on
2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
