From 4cadf524d5643c76b93536783cade9381300a95c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Hua Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:09:25 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Do not use VIQR input method for vi locale by default MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In the Vietnamese Quoted-Readable input method, punctuation following a base letter is converted into diacritical marks, for example a( → ă. (See .) A 2008 bug report in Ubuntu argued that this is a problematic default, particularly when typing passwords, where the effect of the punctuation is non-obvious. According to the bug reporter, VIQR is popular with Vietnamese users living elsewhere in the world, where Vietnamese keyboards are unlikely to be readily available, but is not a popular choice within Vietnam, where the Telex or VNI input modes are preferred.
