RHBA-2011:0518 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ibus packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The IBus (Intelligent Input Bus for Linux OS) package is an input
method platform.

These updated packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

• ibus-x11 displayed at the incorrect window position and did not

follow xterm for X11 applications in big endian 64-bit machines such
as ppc64 and s390x. This was caused by the call_data->ic_attr[i].value
being able to support only CARD32 data (32-bit) while the problematic
machines were 64-bit machines. The code was changed to support 64-bit
machines, thus ibus now works as expected. (BZ#651915)

• ibus displayed incorrect text for the "up" and "down" buttons for

the Kannada translation. The translated text was corrected, thus now
the buttons display the correct translated text. (BZ#633330)

• ibus displayed inconsistent translations on "up" and "down" buttons

compared to text at the bottom of the window referring to "up" and
"down" buttons for the Gujarati translation. Translation was amended
for consistency and the button text and descriptive text at the bottom
of the window are now the same. (BZ#635541)

Users of ppc64, s390x machines, Gujarati, and Kannada, are advised to
upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
