HI!
Just have been forced to install Laz 1.8.0 / fpc 3.0.4 as a project that I'm supporting does compile, but not run any more when compiled with Laz 1.6.4/fpc3.0.2. Resulting binaries give PPI-error at runtime.
So with Laz 1.8.0 compiled they run ok.
But program has an input area that now doubles all keystrokes. Most of edit boxes work ok, but until now at least this one does not.
That would be a "little thing".
Big trouble is that Lazarus source code editor works in same way !!!!
Typing new text to source code editor: h<BS>e<BS>l<BS>l<BS>o gives hello. Without backspaces it is hheelllloo !
Other way to do all editing is external editor and then cut/paste to source code editor.
After some googling I did remove IBus, no help. Installed it again, no help.
Tried to change:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=""
export QT_IM_MODULE=""
export XMODIFIERS="@im=none"
NO help.
Found
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,6231.msg234819.html#msg234819It is an old chain, but at the end one message from alexander is about year old.
He states that Laz works with command line below. But complied programs have same problem.
GTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-context-xim lazarus
For me this starting way did not give any help at all.
System is Fedora 26 / Openbox-LXDE
Any help !!! Please !!!
