* bug#58135: 29.0.50; Typing getting garbled in mail-mode

I'm regularly seeing what I type getting garbled when I'm typing a
message in mail-mode. I'm not sure that it's mail mode that is
responsible but that's where I'm doing most typing these days. At first
I thought it was age and lack of coordination but I think that's
unlikely.

Typically I'm seeing characters not appearing and then the buffered
text appears all at once in a randomised 'wodge'. I've just this morning typed
Matt and ttaM appeared on the screen, I don't think I'd have pressed
the shift key in such a wildly incorrect place.  Another example - "to
discuss?" came out as "tsis?d oucs" (without the quotes)

Typically none of *this* message came out garbled but it's a more or less daily
event.

C-h l probably needs checking next time if there's no other obvious causes.

Robert

Is Emacs otherwise responsive to non-keyboard input during the wedge
preceeding the ``wodge''?  One way to find out is to see if a relief
appears on tool bar buttons if you move your mouse over them during that
period.

Thanks.

Is this with a graphical Emacs or in a terminal?

This is with graphical emacs - not managed to provoke a repeat of the garbling
yet, will respond to Po Lu's qn then!

I don't tend to see the scrambling until it's done (: too focussed on
the keyboard! What seems to be the case is that the problem happens
during an auto save - so emacs won't be responsive, when it comes out
of that pause, the letters buffered up appear but not in the correct order. I
have a fairly large INBOX (in vm) that I sometimes don't save for a
bit so auto saving can take a few seconds.

I've just seen it happen in a .tex buffer so it happens in more than
just mail-mode.

Is the wrong order real, or just on display?  IOW, what happens if you
save the buffer to a file -- do you see the wrong order in the file as
well?

I saved a buffer containing garbled "r dehsangul ce" - I typed "rules
changed" to a file and the contents of the file were as in the buffer
- so the wrong order was real rather than just being displayed.

That would mean something really changes the input events that Emacs
receives.  Does "C-h l" after this happens indeed shows the characters
in the wrong order?

And if it does, would you please try turning off input method support,
by running Emacs like so:

  emacs (other options here) -xrm 'Emacs.useXIM: off'

the extra layers of indirection involved in ferrying events to and fro
the input method may be causing this problem, and narrowing it down to
the input method would make it easier to debug.

Thanks.

That's correct - view-lossage gives the garbled version

Is that likely to cause the problem to disappear, the issue is only
seen c every 4-5 days so if I don't see it in say 2 weeks I should
report back to that effect?

I've run emacs with those options for 2+ weeks now and am yet to
see the problem occurring, so that appears to avoid the problem.

Right.  I've forgotten whether or not I've asked this before, so here
goes nothing.  What input method/framework do you use?

C-h C-\ gives me no input method is activated now - and I wasn't aware of setting one

No, I meant on your system.  xcin or kinput2 would be examples of such
input method frameworks, and so would I-Bus.

ibus

Hmmm.  I don't see that with I-Bus here...  Did you try updating it to a
newer version?

ibus version gives me
IBus 1.5.26

which appears pretty recent, I'm on ubuntu 22.04 - the problem also
was present on ubuntu 21.10 which I guess was an earlier
version (or ibus). There needs to be a 2 or 3 second break for emacs to auto
save for the problem to appear - at least for me!

Thanks.  I'm really lost here; if you set `x-gtk-use-native-input' to a
non-nil value, does the problem persist?  If so, it's likely a problem
with I-Bus, as that will make Emacs use I-Bus through an entirely
different interface.
