Ping; what are the prospects for resolving this and restoring the behaviour previous to this bug? Meanwhile, the workaround I have is: ===== $ package_data_dir=/usr/share/m17n $ local_data_dir=/usr/local/share/m17n $ sudo mkdir $local_data_dir $ sudo cp $package_data_dir/global.mim $local_data_dir/ $ edit $local_data_dir/global.mim [… change the file according to the patch below …] $ diff -u /usr/share/m17n/global.mim /usr/local/share/m17n/global.mim --- /usr/share/m17n/global.mim 2015-08-27 21:54:11.000000000 +1000 +++ /usr/local/share/m17n/global.mim 2016-01-17 11:12:51.465276670 +1100 @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ when you type \"/...\" while you are activating an input method that doesn't handle that key sequence, \"lsymbol\" input method is activated and \"…\" (U+2026: HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) is inserted.") - "lsymbol, unicode")) + nil)) (command (commit $ sudo ln --symbolic --relative $local_data_dir/global.mim $package_data_dir/. ===== After re-starting the desktop, the m17n input methods behave correctly with no interference from unwanted methods. This is not a satisfactory solution though, because the next upgrade of the package will overwrite the changes. The correct fix is to change the ‘/usr/share/m17n/global.mim’ file in the package, to match the change above. -- \ “If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all | `\ others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking | _o__) power called an idea” —Thomas Jefferson, 1813-08-13 | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
