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.

This was somewhat prematured comment. When I thoroughly tested I found some bugs in built-in IME as well as Indian IME2 also. 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!

Change 80080 had a related patch set uploaded by Jforrester:

Change 80080 merged by jenkins-bot:

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!
