Bug#437437: XIM focus problem in libX11?



[I just realized that debian-x list only receives the reply to the
control@b.d.o commands, but not the full copy of this mail, so resending
to the list.  I'm not subscribed to debian-x list, so please cc:

Hello Debian X Task Force,

This bug was reported in Ubuntu and Debian, and I can confirm that it
happens in unstable.  Fedora developers claim it's an libX11 bug [1] and
reported it upstream [2], but didn't get any response from upstream.
Still, Fedora seems to have applied their own patch to libX11.

2. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7869

Now a Debian user also confirms that the patch from Fedora fixes the
problems in scim.  As I don't know anything about the XIM support in
libx11 at all, I'll have to ask the X maintainers to look at this bug.
Please read the comments in bug #434180 [3] for the whole story (and
more links).

If you need any help to reproduce this bug (it requires some specific
settings in scim, which I hope is clear enough in bug #434180, as well
as scim's documentation in /usr/share/doc/scim/), please don't hesitate
to ask me.

Thanks in advance,
Ming
