FIXED: Accented characters appearing at the end of the line

[vivia]

Hi everyone,

The problem with accented characters appearing at the end of the line is (almost) FIXED. You can get Tk 8.5 or 8.6 CVS, or you can find the patches here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112997&aid=1924761&group_id=12997
and new packages for Ubuntu Karmic here:

About the remaining issue:
Affected users are those who have BOTH deadkeys AND XIM (or SCIM/UIM/ibus, they all use XIM for aMSN).
In this case, characters typed using deadkeys will appear normally only if Tk isn't busy. If Tk is busy, instead of getting delayed, they might disappear completely. In a few words, this means: If you have cam on, double-check to make sure your accented characters are in place. I know, it's still much better than all your letters getting misplaced

EDIT: I just tested it on a real use-case scenario while using webcam, and all my accented letters appeared. Seems like the problem appears only when aMSN is frozen for several seconds.

I will let you know if there are further news.

I'm using UIM, and have recently tested the latest Tk CVS version with the same old script we've seen a hundred times:

Code:

destroy .t
pack [text .t]
after 5000 {
for { set i 0 } { $i < 500000 } { incr i } { puts test }
}

Yet I didn't lose any of my accented characters. Maybe I was just lucky?

And, just in case I stop being lucky, how does one disable XIM?

You apparently aren't using any of UIM/SCIM/ibus.

I use UIM for Japanese input. If you don't want to input Japanese/Chinese/Korean/etc, you most likely don't have any issues now

Great news. Thanks.
