Unicode input (by Ctrl+Shift+u) does not work in all applications. For example RStudio and Notepadqq don't allow such input combination.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and have IBus input method enabled in system language settings.

  • Why does such issue occur with some apps?
  • Is there a way to fix this?

UPD

Sometimes (but not everytime) there is additional strange behavior. When RStudio is running and its window is opened (i.e. not in minimized state), it may block unicode input in other applications' windows. This behaviour dissapears after minimizing RStudio.

Maybe because is a non-gtk application. Also, seems that we lost that feature completely on Ubuntu 16.04, with Mir.

  • Maybe you're right. Nevertheless unicode input perfectly works on a pure JavaFX interface too. – Cryptor Feb 21 '17 at 08:25
