Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
This bug applies especially to all localizations which have a Ctrl-Shift-u shortcut by default.
I have only verified it on the German localization, where Ctrl-Shift-u is underline in the OpenOffice-Writer
Since Version 2.10 GTK+ uses this shortcut for entering unicode characters. Compare the release notes:
http://
> Version: 2.10 - Released on 2006-07-03 07:16:18 UTC
> * The hexadecimal Unicode input feature has been reworked. It no longer blocks the use of the sixteen Ctrl-Shift- key sequences. Now
> it only uses Ctrl-Shift-u.
So pressing Ctrl-Shift-u results in entering an underlined unicode character (and thus e.g. deleting any selected text)
Tested with ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) (32 and 64bit)

I have previously (up to and including Ubuntu 7.04) been able to use «Ctrl+Shift+u, hex code, space» to enter Unicode glyphs, e g, «Ctrl+Shift+u,5000, space» resulted in the Chinese glyph «倀». After the SCIM update to version 1.4.7, however, this is no longer possible ; when attempting to enter the glyph, I get «5000 » instead. This is the case both on Ubuntu 7.10 and the alpha 6 version of 8.04. SCIM is a wonderful feature and required for the type of work I do, but I should also like to have the opportunity to enter Unicode glyphs ad libitum. Can this interference - as I presume it is - be resolved, or another key pattern assigned to Unicode glyphs ?...
