Confirmed on ubuntu 8.04, I can not input using SCIM.

Maybe this is Linux specific problem.
If I set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false I can input with IME.

Agree you , my system is opensolaris/x86, I think problem from gnome or flash plugin

GTK_IM_MODULE=multipress (keypad numbers -> ascii chars) seems to work as expected in a bigbluebutton chat room.
I'll have to install SCIM and remind myself how to use it.

Yes, you must be right.

Bug 573280 describes a problem with ibus because ibus tries to workaround the GTK API by dispatching duplicate synthetic events to the app.

This bug should be assumed different unless there is reason to believe that scim is trying to use the same quirks.

Ah, I see. I'll check it. Reopening until then.

It seems that there is no IM context in Flash Player or the IM context never gets focus. The former is wrong because iBus + Flash Player 10.1 works fine. So, this fact means Flash Player 10.1 has IM context and they set focus to the context correctly. If so with SCIM, I guess that SCIM failed something when gtk_im_focus_in() is called or it's handling key event. When SCIM gets focus, it starts snooping all key events until gtk_im_focus_out() is called. However, I cannot turn on/off from keyboard, I think this means the key event doesn't reach the handling point in IM.

karlt:

Is IM of GTK running in an independent process? I.e., Are IM for Firefox and IM for plugin-container same one process and do the client application and IM process communicate? On Windows, IME is running in the client application's process. If I understand as so for gtk2, I cannot understand the source code of SCIM...
AIUI browser and plugin-container processes communicate independently with GTK.
However depending on the IM, the GTK IM may communicate with a single external process.  I suspect this is the case with SCIM.
To try to clarify.  A GTK IM module is used in both browser and plugin, but that module can do what it likes.  I think the SCIM module talks to a global process.
Thanks, then, I understand the static variables usage.
I found a bug report of this bug in SCIM bug tracker too.

I installed scim to Ubuntu 10.10, then, I *can* input Japanese text with SCIM and Flash Player 10.1. I'll check it on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.4. Something might be fixed after Ubuntu 9.4. (I can reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 9.4)

I used SCIM by following command:

GTK_IM_MODULE=scim firefox
I can reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 10.4, but not reproduce on Ubuntu 10.10.

The version of each related components are:

                               Ubuntu 10.4                    Ubuntu 10.10
scim:                              1.4.9-2                         1.4.9-5
scim-anthy:                        1.2.7-1                         1.2.7-3
scim-bridge-agent:         0.4.16-2ubuntu3                  0.4.16-2ubuntu
scim-bridge-client-gtk:    0.4.16-2ubuntu3                  0.4.16-2ubuntu
scim-gtk2-immodule:                1.4.9-2                         1.4.9-5
scim-modules-socket:               1.4.9-2                         1.4.9-5
libgtk2.0-0:               2.20.1-0ubuntu2                 2.22.0-0ubuntu1
flashplugin-installer: 10.1.102.65ubuntu0.10.04   10.1.102.65ubuntu0.10.10

I suspect the difference of gtk2 version.

However, anyway, I think this bug may have been fixed by something which is out of our scope.

I could reproduce this problem on Ubuntu 10.04 too. But the problem is gone with backported scim from Ubuntu10.10, so I think the problem was an scim bug which has been fixed in scim-1.2.7-3 (in Ubuntu 10.10).

westfarmer, contact developers of opensolaris, please.
