VE's behaviour is not as expected when I invoke my own IME for entering Kannada text. If I press Enter after typing some text, it creates a blank line above the current line rather than below the line. Some conjuncts also get dissociated and show sthe constituent Unicode character instead of the conjuncts. I am using Windows 8 and Firefox (ver 21). I tried using the built-in IME as well as Baraa IME. in both cases I could not use the VE for typing in Kannada.

Thanks for taking the time to report this and testing VE! What are the exact steps to reproduce this? I tried: 1. Make sure to be logged in on http://kn.wikipedia.org/ 2. Make sure that on http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%B6%E0%B3%87%E0%B2%B7:Preferences?uselang=en#mw-prefsection-editing > "Beta features > Enable VisualEditor (only in the main and user namespaces)" is enabled. 3. Go to a random article like http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/ಔಷಧೀಯ_ರಸಾಯನಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ?veaction=edit 4. I can confirm that keyboard cursor in on top of text, but I can type (Firefox 18). 5. Click the cog next to "ಇತರ ಭಾಷೆಗಳು" (In other languages) and choose "Input settings". 6. "Input methods for ಕನ್ನಡ" says "Use native keyboard". So here I have several options. Could you confirm/correct the above steps, and explain which "built-in IME" you exactly tried?
I treid the built-in IME of Windows 8 as well as a thrid party IME called Baraha.
I am not sure if the VE has been improved. But now I am able to type in Kannada if I use the Windows built-in IME as well as the Indic IME2 developed by Microsoft-India. But the Baraha IME is still giving problems. I am waiting for the ULS to be enabled in VE.

It does render properly initially, but when I press space bar, the display gets spoiled. I will add the screeenshots.

Hi, thanks for your help. I think the issue may be resolved by the following patch: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/79451 . Or at least, the problems may be different now. I'm not sure it's working correctly with the "Kannada inscript (m17n)" ibus input method on Ubuntu+firefox, but it would be good for a Kannada reader to verify this!

Given that this is now merged, I'm going to mark this as fixed. However, this is provisional - please re-open if you think that this has not worked!
