Hi.
I think that I have found a bug in LibreOffice 5.
I’ve been using SCIM in LibreOffice 4 on Linux for years with no problems, but LibreOffice 5 Calc does not work properly with SCIM. At first I was baffled by what was going on, but after much testing, I’ve identified what the problem is.
If I activate SCIM in LibreOffice Calc and begin typing, then everything is okay until I type a backspace (or a delete) – thereafter if I continue trying to type, every character is a backspace (or a delete) until I enter a space, whereupon I can type normally again. …Until I enter another backspace (or a delete), and the problem starts over.
It doesn’t seem to matter which input method I’m using in SCIM: I’ve tried Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and Russian, and the behaviour occurs in each of them. LibreOffice Writer seems to be unaffected – but Calc is dysfunctional with SCIM.
Any help greatly appreciated!
