Bug 320721 – scim-bridge crashes when opening any firefox 3..6.3 dialogue

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Sam Iam 2010-05-20 12:55:09 UTC]

When using scim-bridge, firefox starts up fine. But every time you try to open any of the dialogue windows (e.g. Tools->Add ons), you get a blank window and firefox freezes. There is a log message saying scim-bridge crashed:

May 20 08:39:36 kelani kernel: scim-bridge[16014]: segfault at c ip b77f0ac4 sp bff68a1c error 4 in libscim-1.0.so.8.2.4[b7793000+c9000]

When I start firefox in a window, I see the following:
Failed to receive messages at scim_bridge_client_read_and_dispatch ()
An IOException at scim_bridge_client_change_focus ()
An IOException occurred at scim_bridge_client_imcontext_focus_out ()

Work arround is to start firefox with scim instead of scim-bridge

$ GTK_IM_MODULE=scim firefox

[Comment 2 MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) 2010-05-21 10:10:12 UTC]

Could you put your /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules here?

My gtk.immodules file

[Comment 4 Joshua Rich 2010-08-12 02:59:36 UTC]

I can confirm this problem on ~x86.  Currently the system is set up with a file in /etc/env.d with the following contents:

XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM'
GTK_IM_MODULE='scim-bridge'
QT_IM_MODULE='scim-bridge'
QT4_IM_MODULE='scim-bridge'

scim is started on user login with a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=SCIM Input Daemon
Exec=scim -d
Terminal=false

I'm using scim-bridge to have scim support in both QT and GTK apps installed on the system.  Is mixing and matching scim and scim-bridge a no-no?

Regards,

Josh

[Comment 6 Benda Xu 2016-06-02 01:49:09 UTC]

We have scim-1.4.17 in tree.  It should have fixed this bug.

Not scim-bridge has been renamed to scim-im-agent.

Clearing the NEEDINFO flag to get this bug out of the NEEDINFO list.
