Ok, so you have previously added the Chinese keyboard layout. It's actually just an alias to the basic English (US) layout. Please note that the list you see first only shows the options you have previously made available by adding them. To look for further sources to add you need to click the + button. I installed ibus-sunpinyin, relogged in, and found the Chinese (SunPinyin) option in Settings among the "Other" input sources. Then I generated the zh_CN.UTF-8 locale, and found that the Chinese item had been converted to a sub menu, which includes Chinese (SunPinyin) together with the Chinese XKB layout. That's how the GNOME design currently works. Not saying I'm too fond of it. In Unity (with code from GNOME 3.4 or something) the input sources were simply presented in one long list, and when you started to type the source you were looking for, it safely showed up. I have filed an upstream issue about the most apparent shortcoming with the current design: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/82 It doesn't directly address the issue you stumbled upon, but it's closely related. > What is suspicious about the file? > > I moved the directory aside, started ibus-daemon up again, and the > problem persists.

It was merely the name of the directory, and the string "IBusComposeTable" in the contents of the cache file which made me say that. After all your Delete key seems to do some kind of composing instead of what it's expected to do. > The problem persists with these settings, as long as ibus-daemon is > running. It's ugly behavior, and all we know so far is that it seems to be caused by something in $HOME. But it may be due to some other cache file, some dconf setting, or whatever. I'm out of ideas for now as regards how to nail it. Well, one thing you may want to try is to move away the ~/.config/dconf/user file and relogin so it gets recreated with only default values. Also, do you possibly have an ~/.XCompose file which you have played with previously? *Now* I'm out of ideas. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues #82 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/82 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849399 Title: ibus in 19.10 breaks the delete key, maps <Delete><Delete> to ☭ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1849399/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
