RHBA-2011:0539 - ibus-m17n bug fix update
Synopsis
ibus-m17n bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated ibus-m17n package that resolves several bugs is now available.
Description
The ibus-m17n is a multilingual input engine for the IBus input method platform.
This updated package provides fixes for the following bugs:
-
When a new user and language were selected during login, ibus-m17n did not load all input methods provided for that language; only one input method was loaded and marked for use as the default input method. The user had to manually search for and add any other input methods that they wanted to use. All input methods for a given language are now loaded upon login, and can be accessed from the ibus-m17n Preferences tab. (BZ#641243)
-
ibus-m17n did not recognize the AltGr (ISO Level 3 Shift) key as a virtual modifier key, making it impossible to input the Rupee Symbol (U+20B9) with an Indic Keyboard. The AltGr key is now recognized by ibus-m17n. (BZ#652201)
All users of ibus-m17n are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
