Details

Description:
I use ibus with the following settings:
XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
KDE_IM_MODULE="ibus"

but if I launch libreoffice the application doesn't respond to any keyboard events, even shortcuts (i.e. ctrl+Q). In addition the ibus-daemon process starts taking up full CPU time. I've tried setting "xim" instead of "ibus" but when I do that I can type, but the characters don't get "committed."

I've tried openoffice-base and this time ibus works as intended. Also reported here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112433


Additional info:
* package version(s)
3.3.0.4-1
openoffice-base (3.3.0-1)
* config and/or log files etc.
~/.xprofile

Steps to reproduce:
1. Specify ibus environment variables in ~/.xprofile
2. Launch libreoffice writer
3. Attempt to type, but user is unable to.
This task depends upon

I've never heard of ibus before because I don't need it myself. It's only in our community repo and this way not present to the Arch build system at compile time. No idea why Oracle OOo can handle it and LibO not. Because our general build configure optios are almost identical I suggest to ask the LibO devs upstream and maybe file a bug there: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice

I initially reported here because I noticed that on Ubuntu libreoffice is able to accept ibus input just fine. Any ideas? I'll also ask on the libreoffice mailing lists for now.

I don't read the LibO User mailing list. I've just found a comment in our forum that kde integration might break ibus input. Do you run KDE? Try to force it to use Gnome vcl.

please confirm this fix: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=887380

if it works it's an upstream issue in the kde integration you should bring upstream!

Ah, sorry. That's me on that thread;) I'll send it upstream soon. Sorry for the delay!
