The text box in Notation window doesn' t accept keyboard input on Linux
Notation window is loaded when 'notaion' mode is active in ASAP plotter and plotter canvas is clicked. It enables users add a note on the plotter using GUI. The text box in Notation window doesn't accept keyboard input on Linuxes which runs SCIM.
SCIM (Smart Common Input Method platform) is a platform which enables multi-language input and it seems to be distributed with various Linux distributions. Note SCIM may run if you install some of language support packages, even if your language setting is English.
