[kdepim-users] Lost field text

Hi Thomas,

The link you sent after a few hops through other links, bug reports on various sites etc finally led me to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188533.

I found the openSUSE build service entry for scim-bridge by hujq and installed to no effect.  I checked my package listing and there was also scim-bridge-gtk (32 bit as well) and scim-bridge-qt.

scim-bridge-gtk didn't help either, but scim-bridge-qt fixed the problem.

So a big thank you.

Best regards,

David.
