Bug Description

I'm a Chinese linux user and have used SCIM as my Chinese input method for a more than a year. I updated with dapper development weekly and a month or 2 ago, I found SCIM removed a useful feature.

As you may know, Chinese input method usually done by typing in a set of composition code for every character input so the input method can sort out the character I want within serveral 10,000.

Before the change, I can use the key '*' within the set and SCIM will try 'any one or more than one' code for that '*'. For example, if I type 'j*i' and SCIM will show me a list of characters with 'jqhi' and etc that matches. It is highly useful since quite frequently people do forget some part of code sets.

However, after the change, SCIM does not receive any '*' input anymore.

I'm not quite sure if it is a change of SCIM or other components in ubuntu, but this change really upset me and, I believe, many other SCIM users.

Is there anybody who is kind enough to check it out?
Thanks

Will the new scim back-port to Dapper?
It is after all a long term support.

Sorry, I am not involved with backport efforts. Please follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BackportRequestProcess to request backports.

Also, your request sounds more like a stable release update issue. Please also read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and see which is more appropriate, and follow the procedures.

Good luck.
