Bug ID: 50753 Summary: Overwatch stops taking input (even walking) when switching to a CJK IME, Battle net takes all the input tho (no fonts needed already included by blizzard)) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jatin1812@protonmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 69538 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=69538 Blizzard app able to take input, Overwatch does not. Even can't walk or move or escape in Overwatch game client.
Positives -
Blizzard has included all CJK fonts not just for the blizzard battle net client but also for games, like Overwatch has its own CJK fonts. and there is no need to install additional fonts as Overwatch and battle net are able to render all CJK fonts on Linux except some on friend list inside the app.
With Overwatch its able to render all CJK fonts as it has its own fonts and works great on Linux for chinese japanese or korean and even other languages as it doesn't need any system font.
Blizzard battle net app can get input from Ibus or Fcitx (I tested it with ibus anthy) and also render it using its own CJK fonts which is great as we can see in the first attachment also word suggestions and Kanji conversion in case of japanese is working nicely as you can see on the markings.
Negatives / Bugs -
Unlike the app login screen or the app's social chat, we can't input any CJK inside the game itself despite its able to render all CJK fonts. As when switching to a CJK keyboard the game client stops taking input at all not even walking running using abilities in game works. Which definitely should not be the case.
It not only stops the chat input but also stops from doing any input at all which can be a night mare mid game if I try to quickly switch for using it in my Blizzard app.

--- Comment #1 from jatin1812@protonmail.com --- Update - With latest Battle app update all fonts are included by blizzard they are not using any system fonts, even now in their social chats - you can see the second attachment as confirmation. So the Only think needs fix is Overwatch takes input when using ibus. Atleast walking running and gameplay should work with ibus if not the actual IME.
