Thanks,

Please enter a bugzilla report describing this. I don't know if we'll be
able to do anything about it for R2.0, but we'll see.

McQ.

Hi, ecipse.

I couldn't input Japanese character with Java Editor on Linux (Debian
3.0). I investigated the cause and found following mention:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-changes-2-0.html

I tested a simple program which was used GtkTextView with gtk2.0, then
I could input Japanese character. But when I tried GtkText, it didn't
work correctly.

I checked swt.c and found that uses GtkText which should be replaced
GtkTextView. As long as GtkText continues being used, a lot of
non-Eglish speakers will be troubled to input the characters.
If you'll provide only gtk2.0 build, at least, you must replace them.

Would you please fix it?

best regards,
