Description of problem: traditionally, mozc method did start with hiragana mode enabled by default, the mode that most people want when using ibus-mozc as an additional layout along with their native keyboard. Upstream decided to change it to direct mode when running in ibus-1.5.x or later, which might come handy for native Japanese, but not for everyone else. (and my assumption is that the vast majority of mageia users using mozc are not typing primarily with Japanese keyboard but are mainly using their native xkb layout most of the time an only occasionally switch to ibus-mozc) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): changed in 1.15.1785.102 (mga6 has 1.11.something, so while mga6 already had ibus 1.5, mozc did default to hiragana mode) As there is no runtime configuration option for this, only way to change default is a one-liner patch the source https://github.com/google/mozc/blame/096650398addf9548a49403e1658a21b6e55b4e4/src/unix/ibus/property_handler.cc#L78-L86 - const bool kActivatedOnLaunch = false; + const bool kActivatedOnLaunch = true; see https://github.com/google/mozc/issues/381 and https://github.com/google/mozc/issues/201 for details to reproduce: 1) add ibus-mozc to your input sources (in gnome-settings region and languages) 2) switch to Japanese input method using super+space or via panel → try typing romanized Japanese → get frustrated since it still is in direct mode 3) manually switch mozc to hiragana via panel (as AFAICT there's no working shortcut to switch by default, only if you had hankaku key) → finally can type Japanese thankfully ibus remembers your setting for your user session, so switching to another layout and back won't reset mozc to direct mode, but nevertheless a big annoyance...

Assigning to QA, Advisory: ======================== Traditionally, mozc method did start with "hiragana" mode enabled by default, the mode that most people want when using ibus-mozc as an additional layout along with their native keyboard. Upstream decided to change it to "direct" mode when running in ibus-1.5.x or later, which might come handy for native Japanese, but not for everyone else. (and my assumption is that the vast majority of mageia users using mozc are not typing primarily with Japanese keyboard but are mainly using their native xkb layout most of the time an only occasionally switch to ibus-mozc). So this update re-enable the Hiragana mode by default. ======================== Packages in 7/core/updates_testing: ======================== mozc-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.i586.rpm ibus-mozc-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.i586.rpm mozc-tools-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.i586.rpm mozc-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.x86_64.rpm ibus-mozc-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.x86_64.rpm mozc-tools-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.x86_64.rpm Source RPM: ======================== mozc-2.23.2785.102-5.1.mga7.src.rpm
