[Kmfl-user] KMFL-LibreOffice Problem

[Richard W. <ric...@nt...>]

As a result of moving from Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx to Ubuntu
12.04 Precise Pangolin, LibreOffice is no longer working properly with
my KMFL keyboards run via iBus.

One problem applications have in interfacing with KMFL via an X input
method is that the inputs are a mixture of character strings and
deletion commands.  Many applications simply ignore the deletion
commands (e.g. gnome-terminal, the 'dash home' of Unity).  LibreOffice
(at 4.0.2.2) misorders them - when an input string b_< should be
converted to ɓ, I see the 'ɓ' flash up, but then all I am left with at
the screen and in the backing store is the single character 'b'.  It
appears that the new character is being applied before the last of
the three deletions.  The problem is a race condition, as can be
seen when a single character toggles the previous character.  Input is
continuing to work in other applications, so I am fairly confident it
is a LibreOffice bug. 

Is there an API definition I can reference in the bug report I need to
raise on LibreOffice?  I want to be able to give chapter and verse.

Richard.
