Kalpa,

Appreciate if you can try to reproduce on Firefox in your Ubuntu box.

Thanks

I think that Core :: Editor is a better component for this.

Hi Danishka,

I am on Ubuntu 13.10 and there is no ibus-sayura. I use fcitx-sayura and with that I cannot type in the fb status box in Sinhala at all. But I tired with gedit and I could type starting from any letter. Perhaps this information is irrelevant as I guess the issue is in particularly with ibus-sayura.

@Lahiru,
Do we have ibus-sayura in Ubnutu 14.04? Or may be it is there in Ubuntu 13.10 as well that I am not aware.

As this was only reproduce on Facebook web interface, I already check with Fedora i18n guys yesterday before file this bug.

So, they said this should be an issue with Firefox but not Fedora.

I would reproduce this bug on both my system and Pravin's (who maintain ibus-sayura for fedora) system when we checking.

I just wanted to know if this specific to Firefox only on Fedora or this issue common to all Linux distros with Firefox.

Kalpa, could you please try to reproduce this on latest Firefox on your Linux box with sayura or/and wijesekara?

Lahiru,
Did you use both Sayura and Wijesekara input methods?

Danishka,

Yes. I'm currently using Wijesekara input method and also tested using Sayura. But couldn't able to reproduce the bug.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=3 years untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
