Environment
Reflection X Advantage version 3.0 or higher
Japanese Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.0
Japanese Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.0
Situation
You may encounter a problem entering text into a password field on Japanese or other Asian language Linux operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.
Resolution
To solve the problem, modify the SCIM configuration as follows:
- Open ~/.scim/config with your favorite editor.
- Locate the line that reads /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic=false.
Change false to true so that it reads /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic=true.
- Log out and log back in. SCIM will be enabled, and the keyboard does not lock.
For more information about the problem in RHEL5, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569257.
Cause
The SCIM input method editor (IME) contains a bug that diverts focus away from the password field. As a result, keystrokes never reach the password field handler.
