Could sketchy Wayland support be why some apps refuse Chinese text input? On Wayland（in arch Linux), GNOME lets OnlyOffice take it without a hitch; KDE doesn’t. That brings Haiku to mind—its graphics stack is C++based, like KDE, instead of C-based like GNOME. So might Haiku’s own Chinese input hiccups also boil down to imperfect Wayland‑level support?
We don’t use wayland, so no.
This could only be a problem with GTK3/4 applications, those use a wayland-emulation for their port.
Do you have specific problems with native appplications that do not accept chinese characters?
Hi @Ilovehotdog !
I use Japanese in Haiku, and at least in Iceweasel (browser) and Icedove (email client), Japanese input works fine. I think there used to be an issue in the Wayland server for Haiku, but it seems it has been already:
It does not work in the LibreOffice port, though. Not sure what the cause is…
