@Danika_Dakika, I didn’t realize that changing versions with launcher is not a direct equivalent to manual installation. Installing 25.02.7 explicitly has indeed solved the issue for the time being. Since I don’t have any critical need to update, I’ll keep using this version. Thank you very much!
Anyway, I hope this problem is going to be resolved sooner or later and Fcitx5 Mozc users will be able to update Anki.
It has been mentioned by Daniel that the launcher currently uses the Qt binaries from PyPI to install Anki. These don’t have the fcitx module, so the expected behavior is that it doesn’t work. As such the behavior isn’t incorrect per se, but certainly can be inconvenient.
At this point I wonder what the best way forward would be. I guess there’s no way around distributing custom Qt.
If it become that way, Anki team should mark fcitx as no supported input method since Anki is officially distributed with launcher. It would clearly state to users they cannot use it. Then, community may publish an official workaround that explain fcitx works installing Anki “standalone”.
I meant that in order to fix this, there’s no other good way than the Anki project creating and distributing their own Qt binaries. (Instead of using the ones uploaded by others on PyPI.)
I don’t think instructing users on how to do that themselves would be a particular nice solution. I don’t use Linux on desktop but I can understand you wouldn’t want to switch your input method just for a single application, nor would you want to maintain an installation by yourself necessarily even if you could.
