Japanese language support mostly broken on Focal
-
Hi,
I just updated a Volla 22 phone from whatever firmware it shipped with to 20.04 via the ubports installer (and wiping it in the process).
I had set it to "japanese" before (with the original firmware provided by Volla), but now the new welcome screen does not list japanese any more.
It still does support configuring a japanese keyboard, however the japanese keyboard is also broken now. When selecting e.g. hiragana letter あ it used to pop up the 4 neighbouring hiragana い、う、え、お to the top/left/right/bottom sides of the pressed key. Now those are not displayed any more (but can still be pressed if you remember where they used to pop up).
This is quite bad for me, as I type japanese messages and internet search queries from time to time. What would be the right (gitlab?) project to report this bug to?
cheers,
Dave

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-keyboardIf you really need it fixed now, maybe I can try to see if there's a easy fix. I doubt it's fixed in OTA-2 if no one knew about it. I also only discovered it a few days ago.

@kugiigi no it's not urgent, but I would be glad if ubports did not lose support for japanese in the long run. I also know some people who will not be able to upgrade to focal, unless japanese input is restored, but they may not mind to wait a little longer.
