Korean IME Input Issue

[eats-sibley]

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue where, during Korean typing, consonants sometimes fail to appear as intended. For example, when I try to type a word like "하이마트", it is incorrectly entered like "하ㅣㅏㅡ", with the consonants and vowels separated.

This problem does not occur when typing in English, nor have I noticed it in other applications when typing in Korean.

For reference, my system uses 3 NVMe SSDs, 2 SATA SSDs, and 1 HDD, all of which are indexed. The issue does not happen every time, but once it occurs, it seems to resolve itself for a while. I suspect it may be related to the HDD becoming inactive.


Additional context about how Hangul works:

Korean (Hangul) is written by combining consonants and vowels into syllabic blocks, rather than entering each letter separately. For example, to type "하이마트", the input method should automatically combine the individual letters (consonants and vowels) into complete syllables. However, when this issue occurs, the input method fails to combine them, resulting in separated letters like "하ㅣㅏㅡ" instead of proper syllables.

For more information on Hangul and its structure, you can refer to this Wikipedia article. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul#Consonants)

I am currently using version 1.5.0.1391a.

I checked the options as you described. Everything was set accordingly, except that the Everything Service was not tick-checked. I have now enabled this option.

I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue just yet, as it didn’t occur every time previously either. I’ll update this thread if the problem happens again.

Hello,

It's been a while, but the issue still hasn't been resolved. I changed the settings as you suggested, and it seemed to be fixed at first, but I think that was just because I was using Everything less frequently at the time.

I've now updated to version 1.5.0.1396a, but the problem still occurs. This issue still seems to be unique to Everything, as I haven't experienced it with any other software since then.

Thank you for the issue reports eats-sibley,

Could you please try the following:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  
  
  edit
  
  
• Select: edit_word_select
• Set the value to: system
  
• Select: edit_move_caret_to_selection_end
• Set the value to: false
  
• Click OK.

These settings change how Everything processes keys which might be causing the issue.
Does the issue persist with these settings disabled?

Thanks for the prompt response.

I was able to set edit_move_caret_to_selection_end to false and for edit_word_select, since the only available values are "Everything" or "System," I changed it from the default "Everything" to "System."

But the issue still seems to persist.

Thank you for checking these settings.

Please capture a debug log:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Verbose.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start debug logging.
• Reproduce the issue.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop debug logging.
  ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
• Please upload this file in a bug report.

I have just submitted the bug report along with the relevant information.

Thanks for all the testing eats-sibley,

We found the issue occurs with all stock Windows edit controls.
The issue occurs in Everything and other programs. Including the Start -> Run dialog.

Does anyone else have this issue?



edit: this appears to be a bug in Windows when disabling:
Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > (ellipsis … next to “Korean”) > Language options > (ellipsis … next to “Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME)”) > Keyboard options > Compatibility > Use previous version of Microsoft IME

I'm making a small slightly-related note here, Everything 1.5.0.1397a adds a small 50 millisecond delay after IME input ends before updating the search.

This fixes an issue with Everything performing an unnecessary search update with incomplete Korean IME input before the search box updates.



To disable this 50 millisecond delay:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  comp
• Select: ime_end_composition_search_delay
• Set the value to: 0
• Click OK.
