anki doesn't support anymore ibus-anthy

[KRSHK]

System

• xuname:
  Void 4.18.7_2 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrmFFFF
• package:
  anki-2.1.4_3
  ibus-1.5.19_1
  ibus-anthy-1.5.10_1

Expected behavior

When switching language with , I can write in Japanese
(worked well in anki 2.0.52)

Actual behavior

Nothing happens, it works for all the gtk application.
Unfortunately, I have no other Qt5 application.

Can you test with env QT_IM_MODULE=ibus anki? I would also suggest testing with other Qt5 applications. If that does not work you may wish to file an issue with https://github.com/ibus/ibus-anthy.

Working fine over here with these environment variables:

GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

I recommend switching to the superior Mozc backend though.

@mvf I got the same in my .xinitrc, but I still have the same issue.
I had to downgrade to the previous version to use it.

Hm, sounds like an issue with your qt5 then. Which is odd because IBus support is shipped with the qt5 package itself. For starters you could check if the IBus plugin is loaded:

• Start Anki 2.1
• Find the PID of Anki's python3 process, e.g.:

$ ps x|grep anki
 9857 pts/3    tl     0:00 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/anki

• List Anki's loaded platform input contexts:

$ grep platforminput /proc/9857/maps
7f8bc892d000-7f8bc8959000 r-xp 00000000 fe:00 2490549                    /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so
7f8bc8959000-7f8bc8b58000 ---p 0002c000 fe:00 2490549                    /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so
7f8bc8b58000-7f8bc8b5a000 r--p 0002b000 fe:00 2490549                    /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so
7f8bc8b5a000-7f8bc8b5b000 rw-p 0002d000 fe:00 2490549                    /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so

If the grep produces no output, the plugin is not loaded.

Works here, please comment if it still happens

@ KRSHK never gave feedback about the question if the IBus plugin is loaded (grep output).

I have similar issue on Debian 10. IBus do not work with Anki and JabRef but with all other applications.

Looks like the plugin is loaded, or not?

I reported this also in the Anki support plattform
https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/ankidesktop/36513-ibus-anthy-not-working

And in JabRef
JabRef/jabref#5255

[buhtz]

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=941018

[CameronNemo]

looks like a different issue. debian bug references regression from z.19 to z.21. This bug was wiled against z.19.

Side information:
On Debian 10 some modifications where done and JabRef works again witih ibus-anthy. But Anki (2.1.15) still not working.
