Thank you!

Does the same happen with 6.2 alpha1? You can easily try with an appimage http://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/

Have not tried the alpha version. But I switched from fcitx to ibus and it works...

If you have the time, would be great to hear testing results with 6.2 and fcitx.

Works under VCLPLUGIN=gtk3


In VCLPLUGIN set to gtk3 the input method can be launched (see the red "酷" icon in the systemtray) and can type Chinese.
Comment 5 Franklin Weng 2018-12-03 15:56:55 UTC 
Reproducible with VCLPLUGIN=kde5, which can not launch input method and can not type Chinese.  Specifying VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 it can work well.

I suppose it's the same as bug 121161
