Problems on Fedora Core 6

[tweakhead]

I'm seeing a few issues running SlickEdit on Fedora Core 6. I'm running in Visual C++ 6 emulation mode. Everytime I do a "Ctrl+F" to find something, it finds the first occurrence of the string. After that the file becomes un-editable. I can only move the cursor around. I cant type anything since the editor  refuses to accept any keystrokes. The only way I can restore my sanity is to quit SlickEdit and get back in. Anyone else seeing these problems?

thanks in advance.

I fixed this by doing this:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=
export XMODIFIERS=
/opt/slickedit11/bin/vs

Sounds like you got around it, but in case the Slickedit crew is reading this, I think this may have to do with the 'keyboard input methods'.  I ran into this under FC 6 (latest service), running Gnome.  All was working well until I installed a set of Chinese fonts.  After that, I ran into the same problem, the 'Find' command would render the keyboard useless inside of Slickedit.

I got around this by going to the 'scim' configuration, and disabling it.  I am theorizing that the installation of the Chinese fonts also installed a hook for entering Chinese characters with the keyboard.  This in turn caused a conflict.

Yes, your theory is quite right on the spot.  This issue is related to the way SlickEdit interacts with certain XIM servers as we touched on this issue on this thread: http://community.slickedit.com/index.php?topic=706.0 .
