#687 bug in nick completion [IM preedit]

[Tee]

In cjk environment, the character doesn't make with
just one input..
so cjk input method has preedit string buffer to keep
the the incomeplete character..

thus, we need gtk_im_context_reset() to commit the
preedit string to gtk_entry_buffer before
gtk_entry_get_text()

:D

The problem I see here is that "im_context" is a private
field. It's illegal to access it directly, since GTK+
2.5/6/7 might remove or move it.

Do you know of another way to reset the imcontext?

This is my current solution, does it work for you?

/* force the IM Context to reset */
gtk_editable_set_editable (GTK_EDITABLE (t), FALSE);
gtk_editable_set_editable (GTK_EDITABLE (t), TRUE);

text = GTK_ENTRY (t)->text;
if (text[0] == 0)
return 1;

It works fine :D
Thanks

gtk_entry_get_text doesn't return the copied string of
GTK_ENTRY_BUFFER..
so we don't need to call gtk_entry_get_text after IM reset.. :D

But it's safer to get the text pointer after, since you are
leaving IMs/GTK the freedom to allocate a new buffer (maybe
some do?). That's how I have it in current CVS.
