[SOLVED] Strange IDE behaviour in Linux Mint

Hi there everyone,

My Lazarus installations (Lazarus 1.8 & NewPascal) both have a strange behaviour in the IDE.

Every single keystroke is shown twice i.e the characters are duplicated. In the attached screenshot, I tried to type ShowMessage('Hello World') but as you can see from the screenshot, it failed miserably.

As a result, I'm forced to type object pascal code in Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code. :o

Has anyone else exprienced this and is there a setting somewhere in Lazarus where I can correct this?

In case anyone is wondering, I typed this post in Linux. The problem seems to be limited to my Lazarus IDE on Linux.

Thanks,

JD

The bugtracker is full with similar issues on linux. Apparently installing ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 fixes the issue.

Installing ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 did not correct the strange IDE behaviour.

What else could I be missing?

thanks

Thanks a million, Handoko. Creating a file input_method.sh in my home directory with the folllowing contents and then rebooting solves the problem :D

--- Code: ---export GTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-context-simple
export QT_IM_MODULE=simple
export XMODIFIERS=@im=none

--- End code ---
