Created attachment 292079 [details, diff] Patch scim-1.4.3 to fix Chinese input into firefox and thunderbird. SCIM does not work to input Chinese characters for Firefox or Thunderbird after 3.x. Pressing Ctrl+Space does nothing. Using the SUSE bug at $URL I was able to create the attached patch for =app-i18n/scim-1.4.3-r1 to correct the problem. This was tested locally and works correctly. Please include this in a new version of the SCIM ebuild. Thanks!
Added scim-1.4.11-r1 to the tree. Thanks
BTW, could you send the patch to upstream and get response from them?
Thank you for adding the patch. Reported upstream: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3439449&group_id=108454&atid=650539
Merged into upstream. Closing.
I've made an world update and installed www-client/firefox-10.0.5 and mail-client/thunderbird-10.0.5. I patched myself with the attached patch and this fixed the problem. Since scim-1.4.9-r1 is the current stable could you also add this patch for scim-1.4.9-rx?
