The following bugs have been resolved:

• Various input methods problems

• Inability to commit using the [Enter] key in Calendar
• Preedit hidden after choosing the candidate
• Input strings were committed in the wrong order in Evolution Task

attachments. If the attachment mimetype was set to

Evolution's Calendar, Contacts and Tasks views. Characters from
non-roman scripts appeared as hollow boxes when printed. This affected
the Calendar component's "List View", the Contacts component's "Phone
List" view, "By Company" view, and any custom "Table" views, and all
views in the Tasks component.
