Description Martin Ellis 2006-04-19 09:59:12 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This bug originally filed in Malone:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/koffice/+bug/39753

Original description:
1.) install skim/scim with hanglu module (korean), plus fonts etc.
[For me, that meant installing the scim-tables-ko, scim-hangul, scim-qtimm packages (ME)]
2.) enable scim with ctrl-space
3.) choose "3bul final" as method
4.) enter "jfsheaofncj4" (the typical korean greeting my textbook tells me)

on normal applications (tested on kate, kwrite. konqueror, bluefish, firefox
and konsole (with vim)) this works ok: the characters form sylabils like
jfs-hea-of-nc-j4. great. but with kword something is broken: it only
merges jfs into one syabil and then keeps each character standalone.

I'm using (k)ubuntu dapper and updated yesterday or so, so all software
should be current as of 2006-04-14.

Notes:
Original bug report doesn't seem to include a KWord version,
but is confirmed in 1.4 in a comment on Malone, and
I can reproduce in 1.5.

Fixed in 528884 by Bart Coppens.
My checkout was a whole week old, so I didn't have that fix!

The fix will appear in KOffice 1.5.1.
