[GTK] can't input korean into lower all input box except adress input box in webkit gtk launcher

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[sandy paulanskaya]

can`t input korean into lower all input box except for adress input box in webkit gtk launcher after recent svn update.
prior version worked well with my scim-bridge and scim-hangul in korean input.
first i report this bug to midori Bug Tracker(http://www.twotoasts.de/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=598).
i`m using gtk 2.14.4 with webkit 1.1.17(recent svn version compiled by me) on ubuntu 8.10.

you can see my problems in screenshots.
midori screenshot(http://www.twotoasts.de/bugs/index.php?getfile=811)
gtk launcher screenshot(http://www.twotoasts.de/bugs/index.php?getfile=826)

what cause this weird korean input failure?
my linux system(google chrom and prior version midori before recent webkit gtk update )
works well with current scim-bridge and scim-hangul.

of course there is no problem in google chrome.

I will try to reproduce but I admit I haven't used scim before. Just for the record, how did you do scim setup (any env variable setting, or file config, or it comes from Ubuntu default config)?

[Duy Nguyen]

Confirmed preedit characters do not show up (only shown after pressing space, I guess that would stop preedit mode). Tested with GtkLauncher r52555 and GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge

[Duy Nguyen]

It seems that scim generates preedit and commit signals properly. But for some reason, the code that commits string in EditorClient::handleKeyboardEvent() is only executed when I press whitespace key. As the result, string is queued up in pendingComposition but never gets processed.

Martin, any idea how a keypressEvent is created? Is it possible that scim eats all key press and release so keypressEvent is never created?

[Martin Robinson]

After looking into this, the situation as I understand it is...

For non-SCIM input: "commit" and "preedit-changed" signals are fired during keydown events. The correct behavior in this case is to wait for the keyup event to modify the editable area (the current code).

For SCIM input: SCIM eats keypresses after the preedit starts. After this point, the editable area needs to be updated during signal handling (the old behavior of this code), because no further key events will be passed to WebKit for this composition.

The second case is currently broken. I'll try making a patch for this issue. My approach will be to change the editable area immediately only if we are not in the middle of handling a keydown event, otherwise the code will wait until keyup event to commit changes.

As an aside, it would be nice to establish some tests for this behavior, but I'm unsure of the best way given the intricacies of SCIM configuration.

[Bert Wasbeer]

I'd like to add that the same problem occurs with IBus, which has replaced SCIM as the default input method (for Korean, Chinese etc.) in distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora. 

I'm not really sure where/how to find the version of Webkit. I did search for it, but couldn't find it unfortunately, so I'll go with the numbering used in the Ubuntu repositories.

With libwebkit 1.02-2 1.1.15 from the default Ubuntu Karmic repositories, both SCIM and IBus work fine. I can type English (or any European language) as well as Chinese (or Korean, Japanese, etc).

With versions 1.1.16, 1.1.17 and 1.1.18 from the Webkit Team PPA for Ubuntu, neither SCIM nor IBus works. I can type English, but not Chinese.

With version 1.1.19 from the Webkit Team PPA however, SCIM is also not usable when I want to write in English, because every letter appears in duplicate. When for instance I type "hello" I get "hheelloo" on the screen. When I press backspace, it also removes two letters at a time. When I switch to Chinese input in SCIM, both the pinyin and Chinese characters appear on the screen. For instance, when I type "nihao" it gives me "nihao你好" where it should only give "你好". IBus works as with versions 1.1.16 through 1.1.18: English is fine, Chinese does not work at all.

With both SCIM and IBus I used the default configurations that come with Ubuntu Karmic.

Hope this can be of help.

Proposed patch

I've attached a proposed patch for this issue. It'd be great if those having problems who can compile WebKit give this a shot and let me know how it works. I'll be able to put this up for review once I get a good bunch of unit tests to verify this fix and prevent regressions in the future.

Here is what I've changed.
- Handle the case where the IMContext sends signals when not handling WebKit key events.
- Handle the case where the IMContext sends more than one "committed" signal in a row.
- Properly handle IME in two WebView simultaneously.

Proposed patch

 67     gchar* newPreedit = 0;

You may want to use GOwnPtr for these, I guess?

 60         void updatePendingComposition(const gchar*);
 61         void updatePendingPreedit(const gchar*);

Just make these take const char*, there's no good reason to use gchar* unless it's API we're exposing (so keeping consistency with what's used on most APIs is useful). I understand the gchar typedef is required for the GOwnPtr, though.

Proposed patch (rev2)

I've attached another patch which incorporates kov's suggestions and also seems to fix the behavior of the xim IM module. While there are still some patches forthcoming to improve IME support, I think this one will fix most issues. After I finish writing some tests to go with this patch, I'll put it up for review.

[sandy paulanskaya]

webkit take too long to compile on my celeron 1.7 Ghz.(almost all day long).

[Benjamin Otte]

I just tested the patch against the Compose key issue in bug 35847 with svn 65508 and it does not fix it. Unlike before, it now consumes the keypresses, but it does not output the final composed key. So instead of "<3", I get nothing.

I thought we had decided to move this check to the beginning of the function? Did you forget or have you found any problems with that?

It looks fine to me other than that, so r=me with that change unless you have a good reason not to do it.
