Broken Budgie keyboard indicator settings and missing Chinese popups after Ibus installation

[baimafeima]

Operating System: Solus 1.2.1 Solus 2017.04.18.0 Budgie version: Budgie 10.2.8 Budgie 10.3.1 Follow up: https://dev.solus-project.com/T1573

The issues encountered:

1. After having installed Ibus, the Budgie keyboard indicator settings are messed up. Switching between de and us doesn't work anymore. Switching to zh_CN shows Chinese characters when I type, however, without the popup which is present when having the Ibus indicator activated in the system tray. Lastly, why not rename zh_CN to cn?

Steps to reproduce the issue: Install Chinese (libpinyin), English, and German language support.

Popups also don't show when typing with libpinyin. Maybe the problem is that I am trying to add libpinyin to the keyboard layout indicator and the gnome settings mix the two together when in fact they should be separated?

I think this screenshot illustrates better what I mean with missing popups when typing in Chinese. This is a critical bug for me as I currently cannot use Budgie for lots of Chinese-related work.

I'm using fcitx, it works fine. You may want to try it before the bug being fixed

I have the same issue, but I can enter the Chinese characters in the budgie applications themselves (e.g. the Software Center). I cannot do so for any other application (e.g. LibreOffice or gedit).

By the way, I am using Solus: uname -a Linux sol 4.8.15 #1 SMP Sun Jan 1 17:15:40 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Encounter the same issue on Arch Linux with budgie 10.2.9

@carlsplace how can I install fcitx in solus budgie? thanks.

[baimafeima]

I can confirm that the above-mentioned two independent issues are still present: German keyboard layout and Chinese popups/tooltips don't work.

[ikeydoherty]

The issue is still open @baimafeima :)

I also encountered this issue on Ubuntu Budgie 17.04. I found the Hanja (ideograms) selector popup for Korean (ibus-hangul) doesn't show up either.

Instead, I've found ibus-daemon -r -d command is a nice workaround. Thanks to a comment in the Solus forum. https://dev.solus-project.com/T3066 I hope this information will help for completely fixing this issue.
