Bug 367061 – app-office/libreoffice - keyboard not working with ibus when using KDE4 integration

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sven Volkinsfeld 2011-05-13 07:49:46 UTC]

Shamelessly copied from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34016

"LibreOffice on KDE4 seems to cause trouble with ibus input. If I run with KDE
integration (by using KDE4 as a desktop environment, or by specifing the
environment variable OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to "kde4", without quotes), ibus
keyboard events fail (no keyboard input in the input area, no keyboard
shortcuts like CTRL+I). If I run *without* KDE integration (by specifying
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to "gnome"), I can type normally and use keyboard shortcuts
properly.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Make sure ibus-daemon is running.
1. Open a terminal and set environment variable OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to "kde4"
(without quotes).
2. Launch LibreOffice from the command line (i.e. lowriter).
3. Try to use the keyboard.

Actual Results:
Keyboard events are ignored.

Expected Results:
Keyboard should work

Workaround:
Set the environment variable OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to "gnome" (i.e. in
$HOME/.xprofile)"
