--- Comment #4 from art oldregdata@km.ru --- as a follow up i did manage to compile scim and scim-pinyin from upstream github. It doesn't result in an abnormal behaviour mentioned above. On contrary it all functions as expected. Here are the steps i took to compile it:
1 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries" 2 sudo dnf install git gettext-devel libtool-ltdl-devel intltool 3 sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-devel 4 sudo dnf install gtk2-devel 5 sudo dnf install gtk3-devel 6 sudo dnf install qt4-devel 7 git clone https://github.com/scim-im/scim 8 cd scim/ 9 ./bootstrap 10 ./configure $enable_shared $enable_static $enable_config_socket $enable_frontend_x11 $enable_frontend_socket $enable_gtk_utils $enable_x11_utils $USE_GTK_VERSION $enable_setup_ui $enable_panel_gtk $enable_tray_icon $GTK2_IM_MODULEDIR $GTK3_IM_MODULEDIR $QT4_IM_MODULEDIR $enable_im_agent $enable_gtk2_immodule $enable_gtk3_immodule $enable_qt4_immodule 11 make 11 sudo make install 12 cd ~ 13 git clone https://github.com/scim-im/scim-pinyin 14 cd scim-pinyin/ 15 ./bootstrap 16 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig 17 ./configure 18 make 19 sudo make install
compiled this way scim-setup does show smart piyin on every boot, typing and changing between the input methods does work as expected. So could the initial bug be caused by some sort of packaging issue?
Hope it's hepfull, will be glad to provide further info and assistance, Best wishes, Artem
