Updated mozc packages enables the Hiragana mode by default

Publication date: 23 Oct 2019
Modification date: 23 Oct 2019
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 7

Description

Traditionally, mozc method did start with "hiragana" mode enabled by
default, the mode that most people want when using ibus-mozc as an
additional layout along with their native keyboard.

Upstream decided to change it to "direct" mode when running in ibus-1.5.x
or later, which might come handy for native Japanese, but not for everyone
else. (and my assumption is that the vast majority of mageia users using
mozc are not typing primarily with Japanese keyboard but are mainly using
their native xkb layout most of the time an only occasionally switch to
ibus-mozc).

So this update re-enable the Hiragana mode by default.
