Accentuation is not working ~^'`" (eg. ã ô é à ü) #3028

kafran · 2017-07-20T02:07:58Z

OS: Xubuntu 17.04
Computer keyboard map: Brazilian ABNT2
Java version:
openjdk version "1.8.0_131"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-8u131-b11-0ubuntu1.17.04.1-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

JabRef version: JabRef-4.0-dev--snapshot--2017-07-19--master--2f12fecfb.jar

I can't insert (only) these accentuated character (comma separated) : ~, ^, `, ', "
Because of this, I can't make these letters: à, á, ã, â, ô, ó, ò, é, ê, ü, etc.
I can't insert these on Fields or Biblatex source tabs;
(Edit to reduce ambiguity) Inserting others special characters works ok: $, %, &, *, (, º

lenhard · 2017-07-20T07:56:12Z

I've tried this with the current master branch on Win7. Everything works as expected, I can enter whatever characters I wish.

Is anyone able to reproduce this?

Siedlerchr · 2017-07-20T08:03:03Z

Maybe related to this compose key stuff? Am 20.07.2017 9:56 vorm. schrieb "Jörg Lenhard" <notifications@github.com>:

On JabRef 3.8.2 at the same system I don't face this problem.

Tested on another computer with a different keyboard. Its a Chromebook with GalliumOS (Ubuntu 16.04) and openjdk version "1.8.0_131". The same problem.

Siedlerchr · 2017-07-20T12:42:12Z

Can confirm on my Ubuntu 16.04 VM with oracle jdk 131, language setting en_gb m
Seems to be related to all kind of javafx fields inside swing, entering the text in pure Swing works.

@kafran Could you check the event log, if you get the same error as I?

Edit//The only workaround I actually see is to type the characters elsewhere and copy&paste them inside the form.

It seems that there have been problems like this for linux before: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8123617

If this is down to the system environment (as the log from @Siedlerchr seems to indicate, there's only system classes in the stack trace) then I don't know what we can do from the side of JabRef.

Siedlerchr · 2017-07-20T12:56:24Z

I will try if I can reproduce this on a minimal application

kafran · 2017-07-20T12:58:12Z

On 4.0-beta1 this doesn't exist.

kafran · 2017-07-20T14:16:32Z

Yes, its the same bug. We should close this one and keep the other one. Sorry, I searched to see if someone already posted about this and didn't find anything. Thanks.

Siedlerchr · 2017-07-20T16:59:56Z

Okay, I tested it with a small MWE and it's definitely a bug of javafx/swing integration framework side,
Will test again with the latest jdk version and then file a bug report.
MWE to reproduce:
https://gist.github.com/Siedlerchr/26e168867b108ccb9ea1152874f3cc91

Siedlerchr · 2017-07-21T14:09:36Z

Okay, I have submitted a bug report to Oracle. Unfortunately we can't do anything at the moment and just wait for a solution. A workaround is to type the characters elsewhere and copy/paste them into the textfield.

lenhard · 2017-07-21T15:36:25Z

@Siedlerchr Thank you very much for your effort! Do you have a link to the report, so that we can track it here?

Also, does it make sense to submit a bug report to OpenJDK as well (since the issue occurs there too)?

Siedlerchr · 2017-07-21T16:04:18Z

Edit//: Once the submitted report is reviewed and moved across to the JDK Project in the Java Bug System (JBS), you will receive a bug reference number which resembles JDK-XXXXXXX. You can search for the bug using either JDK ID or Keywords through either http://bugs.java.com/ or https://bugs.openjdk.java.net.

Just confirming that I have this problem too, using IBUS and m17n under Linux Mint

Siedlerchr · 2017-08-03T11:45:26Z

I just got the notification that the reported bug is now official listed under this number:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8185792

lenhard · 2017-08-03T12:10:56Z

Good job @Siedlerchr

Their report indicates that this also fails in the current JDK 9. Let's see (hope) that they take action.

wujastyk · 2017-08-17T01:46:12Z

I know that this is a Java issue, not Jabref, but I want to say here, loud and clear, that I cannot use JabRef 4 for real work if this isn't fixed. I type bibliographical data in several languages that all use accented text. I'm going to have to stay with JabRef 3 until this is fixed. It's a great pity.

Is there any way that the buggy Java code can be circumvented in the JabRef 4 release?

Best,
Dominik

mlep · 2017-08-17T06:53:56Z

Very soon, there should be a way to run JabRef 4 without this issue, since the bug has just been resolved in openJDK. See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8185792

lenhard · 2017-08-17T08:00:02Z

It's great that they have already repaired it in OpenJDK! I don't know about their release plans, but maybe there's a possibility to install a beta JDK that includes the fix? Maybe someone with more knowledge about OpenJDK can enlighten us here?

Siedlerchr · 2017-08-17T09:12:44Z

From what I see is that this is currently only fixed for OpenJDK 10. I think we need to wait for a backport to OpenJDK 9 and/or 8. I doubt it will be included in 8, as the jdk9 is on the way to it's final release.

But I still find it complicated to get an overview how these openjdk and openjfx projects correlate...

tobiasdiez · 2017-08-17T10:48:26Z

In the meanwhile we can create our own JFXPanel that incorporates this fix by overriding:

    @Override
    protected void processInputMethodEvent(InputMethodEvent e) {
        if (e.getID() == InputMethodEvent.INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGED) 
            sendInputMethodEventToFX(e);
        }
        super.processInputMethodEvent(e);
    }

    private void sendInputMethodEventToFX(InputMethodEvent e) {
        String t = InputMethodSupport.getTextForEvent(e);

        int insertionIndex = 0;
        if (e.getCaret() != null) {
            insertionIndex = e.getCaret().getInsertionIndex();
        }

        scenePeer.inputMethodEvent(
                javafx.scene.input.InputMethodEvent.INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGED,
                InputMethodSupport.inputMethodEventComposed(t, e.getCommittedCharacterCount()),
                t.substring(0, e.getCommittedCharacterCount()),
                insertionIndex);
    }

lenhard · 2017-08-17T11:16:17Z

I don't like these OS-specific hacks, but since the impact is rather big, we could go for such a solution. Maybe we could even check that the custom JFXPanel is only used when the OS is Linux?

I would implement this, but I don't have a Linux system available, so I can't test it. Could someone of our Linux users do this?

Siedlerchr · 2017-08-17T11:28:52Z

I can take a look at this. We have somewhere a switch for OS.LINUX

lenhard · 2017-08-21T10:57:51Z

We think we have a working solution. Could the Linux users @mlep @wujastyk @kafran here please try out the build available at http://builds.jabref.org/customjfxpanel/ and report if it solves the problem?

mlep · 2017-08-21T11:17:59Z

kafran · 2017-08-21T11:22:54Z

It is not working on "{} BibTeX source" tab only.

Thanks.

Siedlerchr · 2017-08-21T16:34:42Z

Yeah, I could confirm the source tab thing. No idea actually.

Yes, using IBUS and m17n, I can now type accented characters, such as āīūṣṭḍṃḥśñṅ . I could also type in Devanāgarī देवनागरी। Typing feels a bit ponderous, like each character is being considered briefly. But it works! Thank you.

Like @kafran and @Siedlerchr, I could not type accented chars into the "{} biblatex source" tab.

Thanks, @lenhard !

Siedlerchr · 2018-02-04T18:12:49Z

Still a problem with the biblatex source editor, but I think this is sth we should maybe report to the controlsfx guys. @tobiasdiez As far as I remember you have an acc at the fxcontrol bug tracker, right?

tobiasdiez · 2018-02-04T19:38:09Z

Probably our hack does not work for the source tab because it does not use a normal text box but a rich text box from RichTextFX (not from controlsfx).
Since the hack is hopefully no longer needed with #3684, I would not investigate more energy here (or let somebody else waste their time fixing it).

Siedlerchr · 2018-06-12T21:11:38Z

Does this still happen in the latest master?

mlep · 2018-06-12T21:21:07Z

Works for me (expect in the source tab, as previously reported).

Siedlerchr · 2018-06-12T21:30:39Z

Thanks for the feedback, seems like it is already reported at RichtTextFX: FXMisc/RichTextFX#280

Seems like the underlying issue is a jdk bug and fixed in jdk10. Not sure about that imho. But as all other fields work and only the source tab not, I would vote to close this as it's only a very minor thing. And copy and paste still works.
