Element-web: New composer is incompatible with japanese IME

[Ai-rin]

I use fcitx as input method framework. With the new composer, choosing suggestion from the popup list is problematic, and it tends to corrupt the input, instead of replacing it.

@Ai-rin which operating system and browser is this on?

[Ai-rin]

@turt2live It's openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 and Chromium 76.0.3809.100

@Ai-rin could you please test whether this is still an issue on latest /develop now the linked PR is merged?

[Ai-rin]

@bwindels I just tested. Now, the IME part works nicely, but at the end it produces empty messages in the timeline itself.

{
  "content": {
    "body": "",
    "msgtype": "m.text"
  },
  "origin_server_ts": 1567099147074,
  "sender": "@airin:matrix.org",
  "type": "m.room.message",
  "unsigned": {
    "age": 128,
    "transaction_id": "m1567099145704.1"
  },
  "event_id": "$BNJ0LrieH9JboyMm6MUUWkVGtNyU3_oSBOrDFWarzLY",
  "room_id": "!BGDVOzDGobkzbiMmtD:matrix.org"
}

Great that the IME part works well, the empty message should be an easy fix.

[bwindels]

Could you please try again on latest /develop @Ai-rin? Thanks!

[Ai-rin]

@bwindels I just reloaded and tried, but nothing changed. I still get empty messages.

After another update it's finally fixed! Thanks a lot, I'm closing the issue.
