Comment 2 for bug 163610

In the current version of Hardy, the result of the operation I mentioned above differs depending upon the SCIM settings ; thus, for example, if the input editor is set to input in Latin glyphs, entering «Ctrl+Shift+u» in the gedit text editor results in an underlined «u». When I continue by entering «5000», the result I see in the text editor is an underlined «u5000». If I then press the space bar, the graph «倀» does, in fact, appear. Thus, in contrast to the situation in March, when I first posted this bug notice, it *is* possible to use the «Ctrl+Shift+u» shortcut to input Unicode glyphs - it is merely that now one first sees an underlined «u» and then an underlined «u-hexcode» in the editor before the space bar is pressed, which was not the case previous to Feisty, when nothing at all was seen until the space bar was pressed. Note, however, that if SCIM is set to «Other - UIM direct», entering «Ctrl+Shift+u;5000» results in «5000» (no «u», no underlining) being seen in the text editor, precisely as described above. But since Unicode glyphs can now be successfully be entered as long as SCIM is set to Latin text, I think the status of this bug can be changed to resolved. I have checked this in OOo Writer, and it works in the same manner there....
