Korean KORDA Jamo SIL in LibreOffice Writer 6.4.7.2 on Kubuntu 20.04

I am experiencing unexpected display in LibreOffice Writer when typing the word “Hangeul” in Korean:
한글
The keyboard sequence to obtain the above Hangeul was:
han[space]geul[space]
When I type the same sequence in LibreOffice Writer, the “Han” character is OK, but problems commence after entering keystrokes:
ge
which returns a legitimate Hangeul character. The result of the full sequence
han[space]geul[space]
looks like:
한게ᅳᆯ

Because the keyboard seems to work in this window (in Firefox) and in the text editor Kate, I suspect there is a compatibility issue between keyman and LibreOffice Writer (I’ve been able to use the ibus native Romaja keyboard in Writer, which seems to work as designed).

Thank You,
Cam
PS: The default keyboard is English (US) / English (intl., with AltGr dead keys). Ibus is set to use the default x-keyboard when Ibus keyboards are not engaged (in other words, both x-keyboards and ibus keyboards are active). Kubuntu 20.04 doesn’t have Qt support, so there is no Qt ibus module.

Welcome to the community @yatindra!

@EberhardBeilharz are you able to look into this?

@yatindra What version of Keyman do you have installed?

Dear Friends:

Thanks for your response.

Updates for Keyman software are being handled through the Keyman Ubuntu PPA:

focal main

The current version of keyman is:

14.0.286-1~sil1~focal

Thanks, Cam

Good news! This will work in the next version of Keyman (v15). If you’re adventurous you can install the alpha version of Keyman 15 from https://launchpad.net/~keymanapp/+archive/ubuntu/keyman-alpha.
