Description yuchen 2007-06-17 09:55:40 UTC
Version:           0.12.4 (using KDE 3.5.6, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060825
OS:                FreeBSD (amd64) release 7.0-CURRENT

I can not input any text in chat windows; The input method that I used is "scim".
pkg_info | grep scim
scim-1.4.6_1        Smart Common Input Method platform
But I can paste text from some editor(for example kate) to chat client.

works for me.
kopete 0.12.4, kde 3.5.6, kubuntu, scim 1.4.4

what goes wrong exactly?
Comment 2 yuchen 2007-06-17 11:28:42 UTC
I use FreeBSD 7.0-current, I can't type any characters to the chat windows, I issue any key, but there is not any chars displayed in chat windows. But I can paste selected text from some editor(for example kate) to chat windows, I can cut the selected text in chat windows, too. I can not issue any chars by keyboard.
Comment 3 Chani 2007-06-17 11:45:22 UTC
does this happen only when scim is active? (ie, running and being used by kopete and not in english mode) 
you can use scim normally in kate, right?
does the scim thingummy pop up near the cursor at all for any amount of time? if you type really fast can you get anything to show up? 
I recently noticed a bug in kdevelop where the scim thing vanishes after about half a second, so I could only type chinese characters there if I knew how to type them in less than that time.

No, I can't active the scim in the chat windows, when chat windows is in focus, I key "ctrl+space", the scim windows do not display at all. I can not use kopete in english mode, i.e, I don't key any english chars, too. I really can use scim in kate. I set "LANG" as "zh_CN-UTF8". 
Comment 5 Dominik Tritscher 2008-07-20 12:18:20 UTC
Can't reproduce that with Kopete 0.50.80 with KDE 4.1.RC1, SCIM 1.4.7, all from kubuntu packages
Comment 6 Roman Jarosz 2010-01-17 14:38:49 UTC
Please update to newer version as we don't have manpower to support Kopete in
KDE 3.
