Hey @Geuntak Jeong (beroberos),
Blender's IME support is a bit... problematic, as we currently don't have an asian developer who can maintain and improve it. I was the one (well mainly) who made the patch for IME support acceptable for master after the original author (@Dun Liang (randon)) wasn't available for it anymore and I'm not really familiar on how all the different IMEs work, plus I don't speak any Asian language. In a nutshell: IME support is more considered as experimental and only a couple of IMEs are known to work reliable for now.
To make things a bit worse, I didn't find the time since the patch was merged to continue working on it.

After some testing we got a list of IMEs which we now consider as fully supported, but as there isn't any Korean one, we currently don't support them at all :/ You can try different IMEs to see if there is one that is working for you (if so, would be good if you noted us so we can add it to the list).

Anyway, thanks for the report, but this is something we'd call a "not supported feature" or even a feature request :/

Committed the fix by @Dun Liang (randon) for this (6e72f06069ae42) so all should be fine now :). @xueke pei (yuzukyo)/@Leon Cheung (leon_cheung), This means we now support more IMEs :) Would you mind updating the table from D765 which we can then add to the Release Notes again?

xueke pei (yuzukyo) added a comment.Mar 28 2015, 3:27 AM

@Julian Eisel (Severin) yes，will update the table when we call for test building , thanks!

With some tests, there still exists some bug for chinese IME not on the D765 support list. like first character unexpect with latin ones in windows 8.1.
So ,I think there still some work to do with the IME though no crucial bug appears. Will do more tests in blendercn.Later.
