Package: fcitx-libpinyin Version: 0.5.3-1 Severity: important Tags: l10n I recently upgraded from stretch to buster, and discovered that fcitx-zhuyin was superseded by fcitx-libpinyin.
When typing in “Bopomofo (LibPinyin)”, keys in the leftmost four columns of the keyboard ([1234qwerasdfzxcv]) produce literal characters from the base system keyboard layout, instead of the starting zhuyin input. For instance, if I type “su3cl3” (for ㄋㄧˇㄏㄠˇ / 你好), I expect to see exactly those Zhuyin characters in the candidate window, along with the candidate Chinese characters. Instead, I get this: https://youtu.be/uWE-WLnUh4E The first character appears as a literal ‘s’, and Zhuyin input does not begin until the following character (“ㄧ”). The “c” is also interpreted as a literal Latin “c” at first, and then becomes a “ㄏ” only after the next character is entered. However, if I enter the word in reverse order (final-then-inital) followed by the tone (as in, “us3” / “ㄧㄋˇ”), then it recognizes “s” as the Zhuyin “ㄋ” immediately. (Unfortunately, typing each word in reverse order is impractically cumbersome.) -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fcitx-libpinyin depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.6-2 ii libfcitx-config4 1:4.2.9.6-2 ii libfcitx-qt5-1 1.2.2-2 ii libfcitx-utils0 1:4.2.9.6-2 ii libgcc1 1:8.1.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.56.1-2 ii libpinyin-data 2.2.0-1 ii libpinyin13 2.2.0-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libqt5dbus5 5.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libqt5gui5 5.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libqt5network5 5.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libqt5webenginewidgets5 5.10.1+dfsg-3 ii libqt5widgets5 5.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libstdc++6 8.1.0-1 fcitx-libpinyin recommends no packages. fcitx-libpinyin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
