Bug#941018: ibus 1.5.21-1 does not work with qt5 applications
Hi all,
While we are waiting for the response of glib upstream (no response from glib
authors yet), I'd like to mention that current ibus in both stable-security
and Testing/Sid are already broken. With next stable point release, we would
break everyone's ibus whenever they are using Debian 10. As pointed out in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-input-method/2019/10/msg00047.html , there are
already some bug reports against qt5-based software.
I'm not saying that we must take actions right now but at least this bug
should be re-evaluated before next stable point release.
Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
