Bug: Unable to select Japanese words on macOS has started happening again. I type a Japanese word and hit space to attempt to change the Kanji and nothing happens. I have a screen recording, but it won’t let me upload that…
Version 2.1.60 (76d88073)
Python 3.9.15 Qt 6.3.2 PyQt 6.3.1
Restarting the app sometimes fixes it…
Please make sure you always press enter after entering Japanese text, as switching to a different field/adding a card while the IME is showing has been known to cause problems in the past.
Yeah, I hadn’t changed fields or anything. I didn’t hit enter yet because I was trying to change the kanji for the text I’d entered. From 2-9 seconds in this video I’m basically hitting the space bar trying to select the Kanji: Anki Japanese input bug - YouTube
I suspect it’s a QT bug, but you’re definitely in a better place to track that down or report it than I am…
A new version of PyQt will hopefully be out in around a week, so it will be interesting to hear if the next Anki beta improves the situation at all.
