Bug 434138 – app-i18n/scim gtk3 patch breaks x11 root window mouse actions

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Philip L 2012-09-06 15:51:52 UTC]

When SCIM 1.4.14 is running, Window Maker's root window mouse actions (e.g., right-click for application menu, left-click+drag to select windows, scroll wheel to switch workspaces) stop working. Killing the SCIM processes restores the functionality. The problem is not present in scim-1.4.11-r1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Window Maker.
2. Run "scim -d".
3. Attempt to open the Window Maker applications menu by right-clicking on the root window.

[Comment 1 Naohiro Aota 2012-09-14 15:30:36 UTC]

I cannot determine the cause of this issue.
Could you report the issue to upstream please?

[Comment 2 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2013-10-22 07:17:36 UTC]

This ate quite a lot of hours today... I still have no idea what is the interaction of scim with windowmaker, but if anyone can look into it, I am willing to test/debug.

Somehow I sniff gtk3 is involved...

[Comment 3 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2013-12-08 14:35:38 UTC]

I kind of hate when I am hitting again bugs that I filed or last commented on ;-|
Anyway, had to mask =app-i18n/scim-anthy-1.2.7* and now everything is back to working order...

I also sent a mail upstream to [e-mail], and filed a bug for scim: https://sourceforge.net/p/scim/support-requests/9/

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2015-05-05 08:47:06 UTC]

Are you still hitting this with windowmaker-0.95.6?

Have you tried to rebuild scim-anthy without gtk3?

[Comment 6 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2015-05-11 12:14:35 UTC]

I was a bit away, sorry for the late response ;-(

Just compiled the following:
app-i18n/anthy-9100h-r1
app-i18n/scim-1.4.14
app-i18n/scim-anthy-1.2.7-r1

and it seemed fine initially, after adding `-f socket` to my `scim -d` commandline, but stopped working now :-( (Cannot get WM menu on right click)

Possibly relevant(=current) packages:
x11-wm/windowmaker-0.95.6
x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4
sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.0.0

Will try to investigate a bit more...

[Comment 7 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2015-05-11 12:32:13 UTC]

Ok, seems gtk3 is what is causing the pain...
Now seems to work without it:

app-i18n/anthy-9100h-r1  (-canna-2ch -emacs -static-libs)
app-i18n/scim-1.4.14  (-doc -gtk3)
app-i18n/scim-anthy-1.2.7-r1  (nls -gtk3 -kasumi)

I'll play with this and install those in other systems this week and hopefully we can close it by the end of the week.

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2015-05-21 13:44:01 UTC]

looks like Fedora is using scim-1.4.15... maybe that could help even with gtk3 support enabled

[Comment 9 Pacho Ramos 2015-05-21 13:46:28 UTC]

On the other hand, I see their scim-anthy does not have any gtk3 support while ours looks to be done with downstream patches... I would then try to build scim-anthy without gtk3 support even keeping scim with gtk3

[Comment 10 Benda Xu 2015-05-21 19:41:00 UTC]

The upstream is dead.  I requested to join the team but got no reply so far.

[Comment 11 Pacho Ramos 2015-05-23 13:48:08 UTC]

should we simply force [-gtk3] in windowmaker ebuilds to finally unblock the stabilization of latest scim (that is blocking eapi1 banning)?

Yes, I think that's reasonable to move forward.

It looks like this also affects fluxbox's root menu.

Very interesting.  I realized the same problem today with fluxbox.  Actually I have suffered from this for years and didn't know why.

[Comment 16 Benda Xu 2016-05-11 03:14:18 UTC]

Upstream has resolved this bug.  Please test the new version 1.4.16 in tree.

[Comment 17 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2017-01-05 08:40:30 UTC]

I just confirmed that there are no apparent issues with =app-i18n/scim-1.4.16[gtk3] on at least one of my systems.

I fell its OK to get rid of the block from windowmaker, will file a new bug.

Thanks, I have just removed the block of windowmaker.
