Description (Last modified by zacw)

Trac drops leading spaces; making an artificial line.

  1. Open International preference pane - Input menu.
  2. Add Russian Input source.
  3. Open Adium.
  4. Open new message window, switch to russian input source.
  5. Send a message.
  6. Switch to other application.
  7. Switch back to Adium
  8. Input source changes back to US.

It's expected that input source will remain Russian.

MacOSX version 10.4.3
Adium 0.86

In Input menu window "Input source options" = "Allow a different input source for each document";
When it selected as "Use one Input source in all documents" Adium works fine.

Fixing up even more.

  • milestone set to Adium X 1.0.

Input stuff always seems to suck in weird odd ways. Don't know if this can be fixed for 1.0, but putting it there for now.

Is it possible for us to store input method on a per-contact basis along with spell checking prefs?

We should find the resolution to this by 1.2, if not set it to Good idea for Later

Ofri, what's the status on this?

The behavior described above is the system's fault and not Adium's, and it acts the same for all applications. AFAIK, there's no supported way to switch to a specific input language, and the closest thing we can do is probably something like this (which I'd really prefer not to): 

NSString *lang = [someUser savedLanguage];
while (![[[NSInputManager currentInputManager:nil] language] isEqualToString:lang])
    [NSInputManager cycleToNextInputLanguage:nil];

I'm in the opinion we should fill a report to Apple and leave it up to them.

  • owner deleted.

  • milestone changed from Adium X 1.2 to Waiting on Apple.

Great, thanks; I agree that we shouldn't try to hack around the issue. Could you file a radar and note the radar # here? I'll shift this to Waiting on Apple pending their response.

Sure, except I can't, unfortunately, isolate this behavior. It happens all the time but I could never reproduce it and/or point on a specific thing that triggers it. It seems though that every major OS release brings improvements to multilingual users. Maybe we should wait and see if it still happens in 10.5?

  • severity changed from blocker to major.

Sounds good -- let's revisit this once 10.5 is out :)

I just tested this with 10.5 and cannot reproduce it. Anyone else?
