[Mlterm-dev-en] input method question

[Ambrose Li <a....@ie...>]

Hi,

I have a question about switching IME's on the fly.

Say I started mlterm in Big5 mode, and want to enter something
with kinput2 (for whatever reason). The input window will
appear, but when I finish the conversion and press Enter,
nothing is sent (by which I mean, say, od -t inside the mlterm
will display nothing). If I switch to xcin-zh_CN.GB2312, the
same happens (nothing gets sent). This happens whether or not
I check the "Process received strings via Unicode" box.

If I change mlterm to UTF-8 mode, I can use any IME.

Does anyone know why is my mlterm behaving like this? Would it
be something wrong when I compiled it, or is there something
wrong with my OS's i18n environment?

This is mlterm 2.6.1. C library is glibc 2.2.4, but not yet
installed as the primary library.

Thanks in advance,
