There are a couple of issues that have been bothering me a bit with the new system, they are:-

  • I've been using m17n-edit for checking the workflow of the system during runtime, wherein the implementation logic works almost flawlessly, even though I've noticed that except for simple text editors such as gedit, the system fails to show proper behaviour in application programs such as LibreOffice. One of the most common issues that crops up is that backspace stops working in such applications. However, m17n-edit shows that the backspace logic works just fine.

Is this problem somehow occurring because the mim file for the input system is yet to be packaged into m17n-contrib?

  • I'd also encountered similar problems when I tried introducing conjoint characters as direct mappings in the input system at an older version. In this case, the mapping would work correctly, however, whenever a pre-vowel or post-vowel join was required the system would produce an incorrect output even though m17n-edit shows that the logical implementations work in a correct manner.

Due to this problem I had to remove the direct mappings for conjoint characters altogether for the final version.
