Description Arka Bhuiyan 2021-08-11 16:56:13 UTC
Description:
I have recently installed LibreOffice 7 from Flathub. After I changed the complex language layout to Bengali, I could type in that language, but the typing experience was not smooth. The characters I press on my keyboard do not show instantly; instead, they show word by word. In elaboration, when I hit the spacebar after typing some characters, the text shows up. But the text should have shown up instantly whenever I press a key on my keyboard. I don't know why this is happening. 

Actual Results:
The writer application shows the Bengali words after a spacebar is pressed instead of showing the characters instantly. 

Expected Results:
The application should show each letter of the Bengali language instantly whenever a key is pressed. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Might this be due to the input method editor (IME) used on the system, that composes characters/words typed before handing them to the application? What happens when typing Bengali in other applications?

Note that I have absolutely no clue about Bengali or its writing system, just an idea..

Typing in other softwares or text editors causes no problems.
