--- Comment #25 from agents@meddatainc.com --- This was not an upgrade but an installation on a new computer, hence I did not access epel-release. This is what rpm -qa reports:
rpm -qa | grep fcitx fcitx-pinyin-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-data-4.2.9.6-1.el7.noarch fcitx-table-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-configtool-0.4.10-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-qt5-1.2.3-10.el7.x86_64 fcitx-gtk3-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-qt4-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-libs-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64 fcitx-table-chinese-4.2.9.6-1.el7.noarch fcitx-gtk2-4.2.9.6-1.el7.x86_64
Yet when I run fcitx-diagnose it reports fcitx 4.2.9.5? Unless I have made any errors installing, I still have the same issue I reported earlier, ie choosing another keyboard using the MATE keyboard switcher does not stick even in one single application such as firefox, chromium. Hitting TAB in Firefox entry fields switches me back to the default keyboard (I use RIGHT-CTRL+RIGHT-SHIFT to switch among keyboards (two western ones and a Chinese keyboard layout), CTRL-SPACE to switch between Pinyin and non-Pinyin. The Pinyin/non-Pinyin seems to stick though between apps whereas switching the keyboard layout using the RIGHT-CTRL+RIGHT-SHIFT switches back to the default keyboard when hitting ENTER in chromium but remains when hitting ENTER in Firefox. Switching between different entry fields in either switches me back to the default keyboard in both apps.
So, to make a long story short, there might be two issues: - fcitx-diagnose seems to reports fcitx 4.2.9.5 even though 4.2.9.6 is installed. Can you confirm this? - using the keyboard layout switcher in MATE does not seem to work as expected in chromium and firefox (only apps I tried now) whereas it does seem to work when switching between MATE terminals. Just tried firefox as well and Pinyin switching seems OK here as well whereas keyboard layout switching using the other keyboard combo gets lost when switching between different entry fields etc.
